When we had a good run of snow, like we had in February, their glades are pretty damn good. This added clearing shouldn't hurt...

Couldn't help but notice that the trails on Pinnacle reach the top now.

You've mentioned a desire to skin a fair bit this winter. A little Pinnacle reconnaissance would be welcome!

I'm thinking of hiking it - just soon as temps get out of the 90s.

Pictures would be great. I really hope for the best with Ragged. But I also hope that they don't sell out like some other ski resorts in New England.....

They were. I hit about a 15" midweek powder day there last season. It was the best use of vacation time you can imagine. They do have some excellent glades.

I'm hiking there with a buddy this weekend. Probably take the SRKG trail.

Have you hiked the SRKG over ragged in the past?

I hiked it in May, parked one car on New Canada and the other at Proctor Academy. Difficult hike for southern NH, rivals several of the four thousand footers. Follow the trail closely if hiking up from New Canada, the trial is poorly marked and cuts to the right just before the clear cut. Bring plenty of water, we ended up giving half our water to the dogs, typically they drink from streams but there was nothing.

Thanks for the intel bigo. Doesn't look good for this weekend though. I asked my friend about hiking that trail and at first seemed enthusiastic at first. Then I mentioned that it's only 6 miles. He says "I don't wanna hike 6 miles!" So I said half of it's down hill... He was not impressed. Still plan to do it sometime before daylight savings ends.

Welp, we didn't make it over to Pinnacle and only did a quick hike up the front side (Wild Whatever) and down through the ravine. Once we were there it looked pretty rough going up Pinnacle - no bush hogging on the lower slopes. We met some guys coming down Bluebarry that had come from Pinnacle and said there was a lot of clearing going on. So I'll have to get over there some time before the snow flies. Definitely take a skin over there but not until the snow really fills in - so we're talking not until possibly February.

Some photos:

What's left of the Raggamuffins Lodge. Usually this is covered by snow so you don't see it. Kind of surprised this mess has never been cleaned up but "out of sight - out of mind" must be the thinking here.
