No Ice?

No Ice?

No, not here. Water is moving relatively fast & we've had above average temps most of January.

When I visited Brattleboro Dec 15-19 we were able to skate on ponds and they were ice fishing on the slow reach of the West River in town. Big difference.

Brattleboro, thats fairly close to us, probably only thin ice now. It’s been unseasonably warm all of January. The Bald Eagles were hunting at our local lake a few weeks ago, no ice. Now only thin ice, nobody out fishing or skating now.

Funny, I just assumed you were in the intermountain west, Titans! I visit an old friend and his family each Dec. We have a tradition of hiking with skates and sticks on our packs into Kilburn Pond in Pisgah State Park NH. We get ourselves all winded passing a puck and skating end to end across its smooth ice lined with granite shore edges. Quintessential NE to me!

This week in Alberta:

Foothills xc on a crisp bluebird morning.

Finishing up a late afternoon loop at sunset.

A great day of powder skiing in the Spray Valley.

Some Adirondack snow after Friday's snowstorm ...

Snowy Mtn, Central Adirondacks (just shy of being a 4000 ft peak) ... it's a nice hike to the summit with some great views. Note the fire tower on the summit

The Indian Lake Snowy? Hiked that a long time ago in the fall

 

[Perry]

Wow! I guess we did get a bit of snow in the Wasatch in the last storm.

Some snowshoeing in a winter wonderland today ...



going through the bending branches was like passing through a curtain of glass beads ...



a little limbo action to get under some older blowdown

Hiking in Capitol Reef earlier this month. Walked through some patches of snow on the Navajo Knobs trail. Cold weather made for great viewing with the Henrys, the Abajos, and the La Sals visible from the top.

 

[slc_dan]

That's a great trail.

Some pics from today's downhill skiing ...
looking north from near the summit ...




pics above were taken on the mountain in the distance (height is 3600') ... that slope in the middle looks a little fuzzy because they are making snow on it, most likely for next week's holiday crowds. The ski area is spread out over four mountains
