    Whiteface Trails

    I’m making a design that features Whiteface. I could use some NY skier expertise as I’ve never had the opportunity to ski here. It looks exciting and I know don’t have the chops to ski the slides. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Ragged Mtn. NH 2024-25

    Opening day. Beautiful day. Cold but not frigid. Packed snow but not icy … or not very icy. Of course just the one run down from Blueberry to Village Green. Newfound Ridge to open soon probably. Not sure how those new steps will work out. Going up is fine but it’s kinda tricky carrying skis...

    While the southern state we’re about to get pummeled by Hurricane Helene 6 friends and I headed to the North Woods of Maine … or nearly. Big Eddy Chewonki Campground on the Penobscot River, just south of Baxter State Park was our slice of paradise for parts of 4 days and 3 nights. The pouring...

    Welch Dickey Loop, Campton, NH

    Beautiful blue bird day. Temps never above 70° Difficult hike due to a very steep approach but so worth it for the view. This short loop always kicks my butt. Last time my knees were throbbing by the end. One of my hike mates suggested taking ibuprofen before, during and after which I’ve...

    Cannon 3/8/24

    Wicked hard packed snow, many patches of ice, limited terrain, amazing sunshine, and unlimited visibility everywhere. Warm temperatures allowed minimal layers. I wore no thermals, had all vents and pit zips wide open. Later in the day the sun softened up a lot of the lower angle stuff. But...

    Cannon, NH: 1/3/24

    Hard packed snow, many patches of ice, limited terrain, no sun, and limited visibility at the top. That sums up skiing at Cannon Mountain today. Temperatures stayed in the 30s so it was comfortable. There were no lift lines to speak of. Aside from the dysfunctional baggage policy it was...

    Opening day Dec 1, 2023 Nice start for the season. Lots of people for opening day. Snow was packed and soft. Temperatures were in the mid 30s to start but by lunch it was in the upper 40s. Good day. Gnarwhales set up on Headwall, Newfound Ridge and Upper Ridge. I’ll let the pictures do the rest...

    T-shirts and ski graphics

    I’ve been working on these designs about two years now. Originally I posted them on Etsy but have been transitioning to TeePublic because they’re easier to deal with. Plus t-shirts is what they do … so a little like the KFC of the t-shirt world: They do t-shirts right. Anyway let me know if...
