For over 20 years the New Hampshire Chapter has offered the Winter Hiking Series (WHS) and is pleased to do so again in 2024. The goal of this series is to provide you with the knowledge and training to safely hike the larger mountains of the Northeast during the winter months. The focus of this series is on winter day hikes in the mountains of the Northeast, especially those in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It is NOT a winter backpacking workshop. The WHS begins with a weekend in early November and continues with a series of four hikes ending in January. During that time participants will gain experience, confidence, and knowledge concerning aspects of appropriate gear, clothing, nutrition, and techniques for winter hiking. This course can be a life-changing opportunity. It provides you the training and experience to successfully and safely hike in winter. Along the way you'll pick up tips and techniques garnered from thousands of hikes in New Hampshire and around the world, and maybe make some new friends along the way. Registration opens on August 1, 2024. See the registration link below. 2024 WHS Schedule Highland Center Opening weekend 11/08 to 11/10 Hike 1 - 11/23 or 11/24 Hike 2 - 12/7 or 12/8 Hike 3 - 12/21 or 12/22 Mt. Lincoln & Mt.
