We love the winter up here and the more snow the better.Originally Posted by Mark B
Give me a few feet of snow and I grab the snowshoes and crampons and head to the Catskills. There's no such thing as too much snow or too cold. My ever dependable VX always gets me there.
On this day I headed out at 6 degrees below zero solo up an unfamiliar mountain without trails and had a blast!
I love it when I can break a trail solo after a big snow.
All the Catskill fire towers have absolutely fantastic views.
This is a color photo. I made it up there thru about 3.5' of snow. The wind up on the tower was about 40-50 mph. I could only stand it for a few minutes at a time taking a few fast photos.
I can't live without the mountains and streams and waterfalls and snowy winters!
