Today’s dusting of snow was just a tease for me. I was spooled in Maine where I could just go out the door and hit the trail with my snowshoes. Hiking in the mountains I suspect is very challenging and certainly many of the places on the AT would not be for the novice like me. Many of my snowshoe hikes in Maine was over open fields or along the river. They also came in handy when chasing snowshoe hares or going ice fishing. Hey Sauceman,

I remember a trip on the AT in the Smokeys from Ice Water Spring to TriCorner knob in January years back that had to be aborted because the snow was too deep. We ended up hiking through the melt zone on a different route -- 1 mile of two steps, fall, get up, take another 2 steps. Just go to the mountains, plenty of snow in NC.
