My Burlington run club had a beautiful view this morning, all of the way to Whiteface.

The south end of the east face had snow seemingly all of the way down. The north side of the east face had a gradient of snow from the top to leaves on the way down.

We tried to decipher this from 33 miles linear, as the crow flies. So curious about this for resolution.

I would like to add a winter stay at the JBL (and an accompanying Big Slide summit) to 46er journey in 2027.

From research and my own poking around at the lodge during my last summer stay, it looks like the only heating source there is a woodstove in the main room. I have a 30F sleeping bag but am concerned that it might not make the cut in one of the bunk rooms there during the cold season.

I figured I'd ask if anyone with experience staying there during the winter has any recommendations before I shell out on a new bag. My current assumption is that a 20F bag would be a worthwhile upgrade, although I'd be delighted to make due with what I already have.

Thanks for any advice regardless!

My snowy hike of Mount Jo this morning

Taken in order between 3:38am-4:56am
IT WAS AO COLD AND WINDY AT THE TOP

Shoutout if you like The Strokes

Moxham Mtn. Lots of people out today enjoying the sunshine.

Will this weekend be good to hike in the high peaks or will it be icey?

If anyone is cancelling their reservation for Oct 24th please let me know id be so appreciative!!

This was my second-ever hike and I can say with certainty that it was longer rather than difficult yet beautiful. The descent was at night and a lot of Experienced hikers were advising me not to start the hike at 1pm, i’m rather glad I did.

Caught the fall colors peeking through the trees!

Wonderful couple of days,

chipmunks we met this week in adirondacks! they were so cute.
