And just to be clear, this isn’t just any old wedding on a farm, this is the wedding of Redline Guide Mike Kaminski and his lovely bride, Nicole. That’s right, one of our own, tied to the hitchin’ post and loving it. And we were playing a part. The ceremony, which took place on Saturday the 9th of September — a beautiful day with perfect temperatures […]
While we have no interest in really getting into retail sales — been there, done that — we do find ourselves in the position of being able to sell any and all Suunto products. In fact, over the (almost) year we’ve sold numerous Suunto A-10 (NH) compasses through our Wilderness Navigation classes. We weren’t trying to sell them, and actually held back because we didn’t have […]
We are very pleased to announce the newest member of the Redline Guiding team: North Conway local, Jeffrey Shutak. Jeffrey is retired and being local may help us fill a niche for the many mid-week hikes we lead. Jeffrey is also an avid Nordic backcountry skier — which we will find useful this winter (but we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves… do look for […]
Of all the skill sets hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts may possess, backcountry medical training is perhaps the epitome of value. If you hike and spend time in remote locations outside of the “golden hour” (meaning an hour or more from typical urban medical services), dealing with injury or illness at some point — even if it’s not your own — is likely. Getting the proper […]
We used the word “recent” in the title of this post, which is sort of funny since we’re actually only a nine-month-old company, but they really are fairly recent testimonials — meaning all of these are from actual guests from the 2017 season thus far. Note: Links added to reveal programs, and names made bold to highlight the guides named. Redline Guiding, I want to thank […]
We’re pleased to introduce “Run Like the Wind,” a women’s-only mountain running event. The Details This event is being led by Redline Guide Kristina Folcik. If you don’t know of Kristina (click the link above to find her profile), she is a bit of an expert on the subject of mountain running.

We’re pleased to introduce “Camp Like a Champ” women’s-only overnight backpacking event. The Details This event is being led by Redline Guide Arlette Laan. If you don’t know of Arlette (click the link above to find her profile), she is a bit of an expert on the subject of backpacking. And being a woman herself, might just be able to provide a completely unparalleled gender-specific experience. […]
The New England Hundred Highest peaks, that is. And it’s something Redline Guide Arlette Laan has just completed along with her husband, Rich. This list of mountains — many of which are trailless — is made up of peaks in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. What follows is a short summary and some photos of her finishing trip on New Hampshire’s Scar Ridge (which for those […]
We’re stoked to introduce our first (of many, hopefully) Women’s-only Mountain Trail Running Clinic. This first event will take place on July 16, 2017, and will culminate as a guided traverse of the Southern Presidential Range in New Hampshire’s spectacular White Mountain National Forest. This event will be led by Redline Guide and La Sportiva Mountain Running Team member, Kristina Folcik and will be open to […]
New Offering! We’re proud to annouce natural and historic guided tours in the White Mountain region. You may have already heard about our up-and-coming June 10th Alpine Garden Tour, but you probably didn’t know that was just a hint of things to come. The Alpine Garden, as you now know, is but just one guided tour option. We now also offer the following naturalist-led tours: Alpine […]
We enjoy telling folks about what our guides are up to when they’re not guiding or instructing a course. We can only share some. They are way too active for us to get into detailing the day-to-day runs, climbs, and hikes they do, even though many are surely noteworthy. The bigger stuff, however, we try to make the time for. As such, one on our guides, […]
