Hi Folks,
We are finally in a somewhat SNOW pattern at last! We're getting some pretty much every 3 days. And tho what we had over the past few weeks has been light and fluffy, the storm that blew through last night and today had more water content. And that portends well for the ice climbs, as well as fat bike and XC Ski grooming. woo woo...
If you have plans or interest in heading up to Mt Washington right now, I seriously urge you to check the avalanche report before you do.
Here are some of the pictures from Thursday. For ALL of the pictures and full Conditions Report go to the Ice Conditions page.

I had a great gig at Top Of The 9th in Fryeburg last night with the Skunk Sessions band. These guys really know how to jam and the audience was really into it. I'm off this weekend, but the following week I'll be at the Majestic Cafe on Friday with guitarist Jarrod Taylor and Tim Gilmore and then on Saturday at Ledge with the Jim McLaughlin Group. The same crew I played there with for Ice fest.
If you're interested you can always see my schedule here:

The Marshall and Rogers Crossing were both groomed the first of this week, but with this snow and what's coming in Saturday/Sunday I gotta figure it won't be great. But if it really is a heavier snow, that will finally pack down well for grooming. Stay tuned...
Up on one of the Mount Washington Valley's finest crags and want to know what that climb you're looking at is? Or maybe you're on your way up from Boston and want to check out the Ice Report for your upcoming weekend plans. Or more likely, you're at work just want to daydream about your next adventure. Well if you have a smart phone handy, you can get to NEClimbs from anywhere you have cell service. While it doesn't offer every single feature of the site and it's not an "app", in mobile form, it does do a whole lot and is very useful. Here is the live link to the mobile version of NEClimbs:
