Ever since my trip to Canada with samthaman, I have been intrigued by the inhabitants of that wild land of savage beauty. On Friday June 5th, 2009 I decided to embed myself with a band of three Canadian citizens traveling through the E.U. to better learn about their habits, social networks, and migratory patterns.

Deep undercover I was able to gleen views such as this one:

Ever since the circumnavigation I’ve been feeling pretty full of slack. How better to get my fill than with the opening of our best friend M. W. Otto Rhode?

Samthaman called me a few days ago and said he was getting pretty bored with the lack of new snow on the EC, and was therefore trying to figure out ways to hurt himself without being called suicidal. The original plan included a tour over the Presidential Range skiing all the highlights over the course of two days. Neither of us liked the idea of overnight stuff though, so Sam went back to work and came up with a new and more extra masochistic plan to ski all 6 major drainages of Mount Washington in a single day. These drainages include the Great Gulf, Huntington Ravine, Tuckerman Ravine, the Gulf of Slides, Oakes Gulf and the Ammonusuc River/Munroe Brook Basin.

A nice capstone for years of toil on and around Mount Washington
