After a dismal ski season, this will be a great boost for the local economy....[Continue reading] ...

Five images from the month of April - What a month it has been weather wise here in the New Hampshire White Mountains. Ice, snow, rain, and warm weather. You name it we have had it this month.

Crampons have been the chosen foot traction this month.....[Continue reading] ...
