Mansfield is about a seven mile hike, with some great views of beautiful Vermont countryside. From the side the mountain looks like a face - we'll be climbing up the nose and chin. It'll probably be snowy up top, so we'll bring along some crampons and gaiters, and any other gear you might need can be supplied. Happiness, frivolity, snowball fights, and general merriment will be had by all.

Cost: $12 When: Saturday morning into Sunday evening Blitz: Kevin Miller or Jeremy Brouillet for more info, 'opo' to sign up Difficulty: Strenuous Description: The term has just started! The weather is fabulous! Come backpacking in the Carters! Carter ridge is a beautiful little ridge in the northeastern part of the White Mountains (just beyond the reach of Freshman Trips). There are no less than six big peaks, lots of gorgeous scenery, and plenty of good times to be had! Any and all gear you might need can be provided (just ask). We'll drive up Saturday morning, then hike eight miles up onto the ridge and stay at a shelter. From there we'll hike eleven or so miles along the ridge and out again. The distances may be on the short side, but this is not a trip for the faint of heart. There will be ice. There will be slush. Parts will be steep. It might be cold, especially at night. But for those hearty souls who do venture out, joy, frivolity, epicness, adventure, good times, and a sense of deep personal satisfaction are guaranteed. Blitz if you have any questions.
