Pictures and video from the week 10-26-11 to 11-2-11

Nov 28, 2011; 3:47 PM ET

In a continued effort to catch up on posting pictures that I take while I am working on the mountain, here are photos I snapped during my shift on the mountain from October 26 to November 2.

First up is actually shot that I took on my way to the base of Mount Washington for shift change on Wednesday October 26. Just north of North Conway, NH there is a very nice scenic overlook, that has a perfect view of Mount Washington about 15 miles (as the crow flies) away. Here are a couple shots I took that morning:

The next good photo opportunity came at sunrise on Saturday October 29:

Then sunset on the same day was very nice as well:

Some really nice light on rime ice that formed on one of the radio transmission tower on the summit:

Last up for this entry are some photos and a video I took on Halloween, of my first skiing adventure of the winter. I was able to find a couple hundred vertical feet of continuous snow on the east side of the summit cone in an area known as the East Snowfields. Here is what they looked like from just above:

At the top of the fields themselves, there was some very nice snow formations created by the wind, known as sastruggi:

Here a shot of me taking off on one of my several runs:

Now a couple of panoramic shots, first from about 1/3 of the way down, looking up:

Now from the same place, looking down:

Lastly, here is the video:

I will be posting more pictures tomorrow, and finally be caught up on Wednesday when I post some of the many pictures I took during this past shift on the mountain.

  • Looking at the winter so far

    Feb 7, 2012; 11:55 AM ET

    It's no secret to folks that live in the eastern United States that the winter of 2011-2012 has generally seen above average temperatures and below average snowfall. This entry takes a look at whether that is the case on Mount Washington, and whether the departures from normal are unprecendented.
