Route: Black Mountain Ski Trail, Black Mountain Summit Spur 3.4 mi round trip with 1,500 ft elevation gain.

This hike would be appropriate for experienced hikers only. Conditions in December vary. We would be expecting hikers to use snowshoes to preserve the trail. The AMC Highland Center has these available in their equipment room. In addition we would expect everyone to carry the 10 essentials The 10 Essentials: What to Pack For a Backcountry Hike

We generally don’t hike very fast - ~1mi/hr. We would plan to head out around 10am from the lodge. Trail-lunches can be ordered at the Highland Center. (Order the night before - vegan option available). We love to have lunch at the summit. The view from the summit is limited but includes Mt Washington.

Kenn and I are experienced hikers in the white mountains. Having hiked a number of 4000 footers and many of the 52 WAV (with a view) peaks. We have experience hiking in all seasons.

If you intend to go you must make your own overnight reservations at the AMC Crawford Notch Highland Center. (603) 466-2727
