Over the past few months, there has been a fair bit of discussion on this forum about winter hiking. Now that we're approaching the winter hiking season, I thought it might be fun to start sharing some of our experiences and adventures as the 2014/2015 season begins. If you have stories, great! If you have pictures, great! The idea with this thread is to get everyone excited for a great season of winter hiking. Here in the northeast we're supposed to get a good bit of snow tonight, so I'm really looking forward to the next few days.
Just over a week ago, a few buddies and I went out for a nice, wintery-feeling hike. We did a nice, moderate loop to the summit of Mt Mansfield in Vermont and back down. It was a nice, quiet day. We ran into two friendly couples near the summit, but otherwise got to enjoy a nice, peaceful hike.

One the way down, we did have to make a sketchy jump across "The Gap", which is a short ledge jump. I don't mind it too much during the summer, but I'm not a fan when there's ice and snow on the ground. I should have taken a picture, but I didn't want to break anyone's concentration.
This hike really got me excited for more snow and ice, and lots of winter hikes and ski trips! Get other there and enjoy yourselves!
