Snowshoeing already! It’s only November!
We decided on the beloved and iconic Mt Chocorua. At only 3500′ this mountain is one of the NH 52 With-a-View peaks, making it “easier” in the eyes of some, but don’t be fooled. Chocorua is tough! That said, our team made it up and back safely and they had a heck of a good trip. Ken took some photos throughout the day marking their adventure, as follows:

The blue ice is thin but has climbable pillars. Beware running water, however.

The end is scrambly and exposed.

We added a photo of Ken’s grandson, Colton, just because 🙂
Congratulations Oleg on the summit, and Ken, good job leading.
