I usually take a three day vacation in the Whites in between the solstice and the new year, and that was the plan for this year. Weather concerns, however, caused me to scale back my plans, and then a broken snowshoe caused me to scale back even more. I ended up hiking only one day. It was on mountains I'd already hiked in winter, but it included one of my favorite mountains, so it was worth the trip.
