Here at Cloudsplitter Mountain Guides, the past six weeks have been the busiest of the season, if not the year. With sustained cold and lots of snow (and maybe some rain, too!) climbing and skiing opprtunities have been ample. I've spent a good amount of time in NH, whether guiding, training, or working as an athlete/model for various photo and video shoots, while Jesse has been here guiding the classic ski and climbing objectives (and shoveling the driveway!).
We recently obtained a White Mountain National Forest permit and are excited to spend much of April in the White Mountains. Early spring is a great chance to check out some of the east's best alpine terrain in well-known ski arenas like Tuckerman's Ravine or classic technical ski mountaineering and snow & ice climbing routes in Huntington's Ravine. For a less extreme and more intimate backcountry experience, there's overnight camping and more moderate tree and gully skiing in the Gulf of Slides. For the ambitious skier there are extended options for technical ascents and descents from the true summit, as well as extended link-up tours across multiple aspects - like Oakes Gulf, Amonoosuc Ravine, Monroe Brook and the Great Gulf. Sure you can follow the hordes into Tucks. But now you can also join Cloudsplitter guides to make the most of conditions and find the best snow, the best terrain, and the best routes to make the most of your day in the mountains!
If this sounds interesting (how could it not!?), please get in touch with us to schedule a uniquely Presidential private or semi-private alpine trip in the White Mountains this spring. --E.D.
