Red Spot Trail on Mt. Monadnock, NH on Halloween:

Hey @KevinF, microspikes, crampons, or just hiking boots? Was the snow compressed into ice?
What worked for traction?

I've hiked Monadnock when new fallen leaves obscured the underfoot rocks, but never in new fallen snow. It's a fun hike with an excellent view at the summit.

I've hiked Monadnock when new fallen leaves obscured the underfoot rocks, but never in new fallen snow. It's a fun hike with an excellent view at the summit.

I use microspikes which were fine; there were a few spots that would have been really hard without additional traction. Some people hiked it in just hiking boots though (i.e., no additional traction).

It got pretty warm on Saturday; the trip down I took the microspikes off fairly early... the trail was just soaked from the snow melt. I was more nervous going down with all the wet rock than I was going up!

Took a woods walk with family today. All the snow has melted. We are back to brown and yellow and hemlock green. This is a beech.

The sun stays low in the sky now. Shadows were long at noon.

Bill Kidd was one of my first ski heros along with Tyler Palmer and Franz Klammer. The image Dynamic used was me, though, in 1974 or 75, at Whiteface. The skis and boots were hand-me-downs from Tyler, a neighbor in North Conway.


The original image. I liked Whiteface, placed well there and also met Toni Matt one day; he was director of their ski school at the time.

@Doug Briggs, I would really like to ski with you someday.

Nice!
Have you contacted them? It’s pretty bad. Wrong person, wrong year by 4 or 5, wrong venue with the place clearly on the panel.
Did they get the skis right?

I didn't contact them directly, but they have 'liked' my comments on shared post. Yes, they were Dynamic VR17 DHs. They missed the story by a mile as you noted. This is Tyler Palmer with DH skis. Not the ones I was on, though. ;-)

Tyler at Cranmore while much younger. You can see the Skimobile in the background.

Ted: This shot was pure luck, my @gopro MAX attached to a rod on my helmet came off and bounced along next to me for a moment, capturing this. Sometimes it’s just pure luck.
