Just now returned from a fantastic winter adventure in the White Mountains, NH.

This was my view looking up the trail on my ascent up peak #3 of my hike on the ridge last week in the White Mountains, NH. Clear skies with great views to the horizon plus perfect trail conditions made for a wonderful adventure. #FootpathFriday #hiking #mountains

Hiked Mt. Washington one summer & ski team used to run from peak to peak in Franconia Notch in Fall training 60 years ago. -

Will do. And there was plenty of fresh mountain air up there! -

There were a couple of runners out on the ridge last week. They were having a great time! -

Wish I could, Franz! It was as wonderful as it looks. After the major hike up to the first summit from the trailhead (3,500 ft (1,100m) elevation gain), I hiked up three more peaks, including this one— once I was up on the ridge, these subsequent peaks were all easy, but still equally picturesque. A great day in the mountains! -

@TimKStanton that's really a nice view! Thanks so much for this. I'm just seeing grey and light rain

Thanks, Franz! This was my view after having been above the treeline for several hours on the mountain ridge and I was descending back into the forested part of the trail.
It has been quite the winter up in these mountains. Lots of snowfall and no periods of rain or freeze/thaw cycle, making for great conditions for winter mountaineering.

Yeah, great views in all directions that day, including on the descent passing the treeline like in this pic. -

When I hiked recently on this mountain ridge, the evidence of harsh weather from previous storms was clear. Features were covered with rime ice, like ghosts frozen (literally!) in time from strong winds and cold temps in those storms, supercooling the droplets from the fog/low-clouds and freezing onto the feature in interesting patterns. So eerie and unique! #MountainMonday #hiking #winter

@TimKStanton In October 1978 I visited Mount Washington. And this is wat it looked like! Incredible but beautiful.

@saarmuller
Indeed! And the Mt Washington observatory regularly posts photos of the rime ice formations that they have up there-- all so beautiful! -
@von
Yeah, I've heard about rime ice forming on aircraft. Sounds like a real pain (and dangerous, of course!). Glad you can enjoy it now in a beautiful natural context. 🧊 -
