I love it up there. I used to do winter mountaineering and ice climbing on Mt Washington, Jefferson, and Adams. One time the snow was so deep we couldn't find the trail markers because they were below the snow. Couldn't get to our destination by nightfall so we had to completely change our route putting us in an avalanche path to make up for time. We always camped below tree line, but a whiteout late afternoon on the second day forced us to use a curved metal bomb shelter they used to have in the col between Adams and Washington. I don't think it is there any more. It had a big crack in the side so by morning the whole thing was filled with ice as was the entrance. We had to chop our way out with the ice axes. By the time we got to the timber line another foot and a half had fallen and the wind had picked up because the sun was out. Gusts had to be exceeding 100 mph by any estimate even below tree line so the drifts made it difficult to go anywhere even with the snowshoes. That forced us to follow the ravines for the rest of the day (not the best place to be). Had we been inexperienced or ill equipped I think that trip would have been a disaster, but the post analysis was the same as always..........we loved it because all three of us loved that region so much.

Your video brought back memories.
