I love big stupid stuff like this. I didn't realize Ski the Whites has rebranded into White Mountain Ski co. Everyone shits on little 'ol new england, but the presidential range will chew you up as anyone who has thru hikes the AT will tell you. Suffering gives life meaning; go do hard stuff.
- jcgrillo 1y agoWorst weather in the world!
- beezle 1y agoI had friends up (Greens) in midish July and we were talking about taking the trip over to the Shire to do Mt. Washington the following day or two... until we checked the summit forecast: temps in the 30s and wind chills around 15F. Instead, we drank some beers did some chores and did the much easier Camel's Hump!
- jcgrillo 1y agoThat sounds more pleasant. I think I remember seeing frost or maybe some light snow up there around then.
- Workaccount2 1y agoThe first time I visited it was 70F and sunny at the base, and when I got to the summit it was 38F with a constant 30mph wind and 70mph gusts, all in a dense fog. Truly an unreal place to experience
- jcgrillo 1y agoYeah summer is actually especially dangerous because people get caught unprepared. There's an excellent book called Not Without Peril by Nicholas Howe. Many of the exposure deaths listed in the appendix occurred in the summer and fall.
- wyclif 1y agoHaving hiked the AT through the Whites, the #1 way you can get into trouble fast is to not pay close enough attention to the weather reports.
