Calling all skiers. We're gonna party like it's 1939! Long before high-speed quad chairlifts, snow making and grooming equipment, hardy souls strapped skis on their backs, climbed mountains to ski on ungroomed slopes. The Doublehead Ski Trail was built by the CCC in 1934 to meet the growing appetite for skiing in the Mount Washington Valley. Snow trains used to deliver skiers to nearby Glen, and there was a demand for ski terrain in Jackson to accommodate the visitors. This trail retains the classic character of other CCC creations: swooping turns, double fall lines, and a fast descent. It is a well-preserved jewel from an earlier era of skiing. Starting at the trail head on Dundee Road in Jackson, NH, we'll ascend 1,600 feet over 1.8 miles using snow shoes or climbing skins (for you telemark skiers) to the 3,053' summit of North Doublehead Mountain. Then we'll ski back to the trailhead. THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER TRIP The leader attempted to ski this trail a few years ago on back country skis. His narrow skis sank deep into the light powder and his leather backcountry boots were unable to hold the skis in a turn. After several face plants, he took off his skis and walked down the mountain. This time he's coming back with his heavy downhill equipment. This is an ungroomed slope and there is no ski patrol. You and you alone are responsible for your safety. You'll need to evaluate the trial conditions and your own abilities on the day of the event. There is no shame in walking down if conditions are beyond your capabilities. Please be prepared with appropriate clothing (NO COTTON), equipment, food and water. DIRECTIONS: From NH 16 at the Jackson covered bridge follow NH 16A, then turn right on NH16B at the Jackson Post Office. Go up a long hill and turn right at the Black Mtn. Ski Area, then turn right on Dundee Road and continue to the parking area on the left about 2.9 miles from NH16. CAR POOL: Meet at Exit 2 Route 93 Park and Ride at 6 AM. On to LL Bean in Concord, NH at 6:45 AM. As a condition of your voluntary participation in this activity you acknowledge and agree to the following: this activity involves inherent risks that can cause property damage, injury, illness, disability, and/or death to participants and/or others; you assume all risk associated with this activity; you are responsible for having the necessary knowledge, skills, abilities, clothing, and equipment to safely participate in this activity; you know and will follow the Hiker Responsibility Code described at www.hikesafe.com; the leader(s) of this activity are volunteers; and you release, hold harmless, and indemnify the leader(s) and all members of this group from any and all claims for property damage, injury, illness, disability, and/or death - including those caused by negligence and/or other reasons.
This hike has been rescheduled from January 2nd due to weather. The UNH/Mount Hedgehog trail leaves from the Downes Brook parking area just east of Passaconaway Campground and 13.5 miles west of Conway on the Kancamagus Highway. The trail takes you to the summit of Mt. Hedgehog (2520'). The grade is moderate and only the final sections require a little extra effort. The advantage in taking the loop in a clockwise direction is to view the Presidential Range and Mt.Washington as you reach the summit from the south. You must be prepared for winter conditions with traction devices such as Microspikes and possibly snowshoes if there is fresh snow. Knowledge of proper dress and gear for winter conditions is essential. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Distance: 4.8 miles complete loop Elevation gain: 1450' Duration: ~4 hours estimated time http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/forests/white_mountain/recreation/hiking/unh.html http://www.visitusa.com/newhampshire/hiking/mounthedgehogtrail.htm Car pool info: 7:30 AM at Park & Ride at I93 Exit 2; 8:15 AM at LL Bean parking lot (in the back) in Concord, NH.

In Winter, Mt Washington is one of the most imposing mountains in America. With it's history of unpredictable and severe weather, the "rock pile" requires respect if weather conditions are deteriorating. Therefore, if you intend to attend this hike, you must not only be prepared with the right equipment but you will also need to be fit and ready for difficult and potentially dangerous conditions. Personally, it took me three attempts in Winter to accomplish the goal of summitting the mountain. We will watch the weather conditions closely and may not make a decision on ascending until the day of the hike. So, if you feel accomplished enough to attempt this mountain, then please answer the attached questions and sign up for this "once in a lifetime hike". We will be approaching the mountain from the traditional approach in Winter - Tuckerman's to the winter Lion's Head trail on up the "cone" to the summit. If you view the pictures from last year (about the same timeframe), you will see what the hike is like in "favorable" conditions - sunny, low digits, and 40 to 50 mph winds. This hike will be a full day event. Over 4 miles to the summit and returning the same path - at least 8 hours of hiking. A hiking list is posted in the "files" section and will be updated prior to the hike. b]As a condition of your voluntary participation in this activity you acknowledge and agree to the following: this activity involves inherent risks that can cause property damage, injury, illness, disability, and/or death to participants and/or others; you assume all risk associated with this activity; you are responsible for having the necessary knowledge, skills, abilities, clothing, and equipment to safely participate in this activity; you know and will follow the Hiker Responsibility Code described at www.hikesafe.com; theleader(s) of this activity are volunteers; and you release, hold harmless, and indemnify the leader(s) and all members of this group from any and all claims for property damage, injury, illness, disability, and/or death - including those caused by negligence and/or other reasons.

*** February Meetup **** February's read is "Ahab's Wife, or The Star-Gazer" by Sena Jeter Naslund. We'll meet the 1st Sunday in March to give an extra week to read this selection! Inspired by a brief passage in "Moby Dick", Sena Jeter Naslund has created the strong, intelligent voice of a woman whose life is dominated by the sea. The author narrates a family drama as the child Una is sent away to live in a lighthouse by her mother in order to protect her from the physical and emotional blows of her father. She spins a romantic adventure, as Una finds early passion with a sailor and, disguised as a cabin boy, runs away to sea to encounter disasters, murder, romance of virtually every variety, and, of course, the behemoths of the deep. She paints a portrait of a real, loving marriage, as through Una's eyes we see Ahab before the white whale takes his leg and sends him into madness. Finally, she gives us a new perspective on the American experience, as the widowed Una makes a new life for herself in the company of Margaret Fuller, Frederick Douglass, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and others.
