Cool winter shots. I might try to hike this mountain from the north side before winter ends. I have hiked this peak many times in spring and summer but never in winter.

The peak can be accessed by the narrow and steep foot path although trail conditions are dicey at best for snowmobiles. There is room for about 4 sleds in the glade near the summit, which is usually bare and accessible only by foot. Wind chill on a balmy February day was -30F, but the view of the snow covered countryside in the clear cold air is stunning!
