The hiking is the easy part, the skiing a bit more on the tough side. Carrie, if you don't believe you'd be up to skiing, it's worthwhile going just for the circus atmosphere and to scope out for future possibility. My wife will go this year, but will not ski.

that helmet came out around 1995. helmet styling has come a long way since then.

our hats for my club team look like this but in dark green and black with a sticker/logo of a bearded clam...

you can hike or skin up the tuckerman's trail which starts at the amc ctr but it's pretty well packed down.

But you can skin up the sherbie - it seems to be allowed - every time I've asked someone coming up while I'm going down that's what they claim! the sherbie terminates at the amc ctr too. it's a fun trail.

I hiked up and skied down last year mid-april early in the am and just kept my ski boots on and drove over to wildcat for a great day of spring skiing.

with day light, you can definitely ski at wildcat, hump it up after 4 and be back down with sun light to spare if you're in good shape. couldn't convince my son to do that last year!

I'm planning on doing Gulf of Slides and Tucks April 2&3 staying at the Joe Dodge Lodge.

Had a great time skiing GOS last season. It was almost like skiing out west.

I'd like to do it, but it's not even a consideration before lift serviced is over. And once that happens, I might be thinking about the MTB more than skiing. You never know though. I wasn't planning to hike Hunter in the fall either.

I'll be going up several times, as I'm sure Austin will... though on the weekends that will see a lot of traffic at Tuckerman, I'll most likely be at GoS, GG or Monroe. And I'd really like to do Oakes this year too.

Is she going to hike up and then down?

I'm thinking back to last May when the Divas tried to convince me to go down Montezuma Bowl at A-basin. So I made my way over, looked over the lip, froze up and decided there was no way in hell I was going down it. Ability-wise, I could probably have handled that (and Tucks). But I think I still have mental roadblocks I need to get past first.
