Hi all! I'm absolutely, positively delighted to stumble into this forum...even as a latecomer. Just in time...I'd been going through withdraw after the loss of the old winter trekking site.
I've been a winter backpacker for close to 30 years--here in the northeast, the PNW, and for an all too-brief and wondrous stint, Alaska. Two years ago I discovered the joys of hot tenting and haven't really looked back. Since I'm mainly solo when I head out, I use a silnylon tent and ti stove...though I'm always a bit jealous of those of you lounging in snowtrekkers...except when hauling
Between having a 19 month-old at home and taking prereqs for nursing programs, I haven't been getting out much this winter. But I dream of longer trips up in NW Maine (my old stomping grounds) and Quebec.
Looking forward to trading stories, tips, and questions with you all. Cheers!
