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.
Ice Conditions Report:
Selected Ice Conditions effective November 27, 2025
There is minimal snow up in Crawford Notch. The pictures below are from Wednesday. While I drove through the notch today, I didn't bring a camera. However there is substantially less ice up there than there was yesterday. Mid day Wednesday it was 46 degrees at the Dry River Campground and 41 at the Highland Center. It rained a bit overnight as well. Today it was 40 at the Center! I have seen some great pictures of Pinnacle Gully from earlier in the week, but none from yesterday or today. That said, things will most certainly get better as the weekend goes on.

MUSICAL NOTES:
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.
VALLEY CYCLING:
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...

Climbing is a very dangerous sport. You can get hurt or even kill yourself. When you go climbing, you do so of your own free will. Everything on this site is to be taken with a grain of salt. Don't blame us if you get up some totally heinous route, in over your head and fall and hurt yourself.
