    Wilderness First Aid, Nov. 2013

    That's a great resource! I think the outing club I'm part of might have a few classes, actually - I hadn't thought about taking it through them. Thank you!

    Thanks for the info! Hiking in the Whites tomorrow (Surprise & Moriah) and it's great to see some snow totals.

    Collapsible or Telescopic Pole suggestions

    I'm thinking about buying trekking poles for winter, and want telescopic ones - I heard that the flip-lock type are better in cold weather than the screw-tightening, as sometimes those freeze and are hard to collapse. I'll check out these suggestions too - thanks!

    Wilderness First Aid, Nov. 2013

    I've been thinking about taking one of these classes for a while - are they just run through the AMC? I'd like to know more about winter hiking injuries in particular.

    Recommendations for weekend hike with girlfriend

    I would definitely recommend Copake Falls in southwestern Mass or Eastern NY! It's beautiful out there and a short hike to the falls, with the opportunity to do longer ones on the Long Trail. There are also cabins and campsites to rent!
