Photo Archive: Mountaineer’s Route

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Added photos from a 03/03/2010 ski descent of the Mountaineer’s Route on Mount Webster in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire. This route drops directly off the summit of Mount Webster and I’ve heard it called the Mountaineer’s Route. I’ve always looked up when driving through Crawford Notch and wondered if it would ever get enough snow to ski. A big snow storm with east winds answered that question.

Added photos from a 03/05/2010 climb and ski descent of Shoestring Gully on Mount Webster in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire. Jim Surette and I were able to ski the entire route without rappelling (had to ski around one ice bulge) due to recent storms (w/ east winds) that loaded the gully with deep snow.
