Description: Calling all hikers working on your winter 48! Join us for a strenuous weekend of winter hiking during which we will hike Carter Dome (4,832‘), and North Kinsman (4,293')/South Kinsman (4,358’) on back-to-back days using Sub Sig Cabin in Crawford Notch as our weekend base. Both hikes will be 10 miles, with 3,450 and 3,950 feet of elevation gain, respectively. The pace will be moderate to slow depending on trail and weather conditions. Participants will spend Friday and Saturday nights at Sub Sig Cabin in Crawford Notch and should be experienced winter hikers in excellent physical condition. They should possess full winter gear, including microspikes, crampons and snowshoes. Previous experience hiking NH 4,000-footers in winter is a requirement. Sub Sig Cabin is located in Hart's Location, NH - about 10 miles south of the AMC Highland Center in Crawford Notch and has heat and electricity, a fully equipped kitchen, a cosy living/dining room, a 2-room sleeping area with mattresses, and a 2-stall HEATED outhouse. The cabin does NOT have running water and leaders and participants are expected to each bring 3 gallons of water for personal use, plus a sleeping bag, pillow, and a bed sheet. Sub Sig Cabin will be opened by the leaders early Friday evening and all participants should aim to arrive by 9.00 pm. Breakfast will be provided on both days, along with dinner on Saturday night. Participants will be responsible for their own lunches and trail snacks on Saturday and Sunday. The $95 cost covers Cabin fees, Saturday dinner and 2 breakfasts. In the event of a participant having to cancel, Cabin fees are fully refundable; the meal fee is refundable up to the Monday evening before the weekend. Participants are expected to assist with meal preparation and Cabin cleanup. To address unforeseen challenges such as adverse weather, unacceptable trail conditions or excessive crowding, the planned trip destination, activity and/or meeting place and time may be modified. In that event, participants may elect to join in that activity or opt-out.
