Winter Presi Traverse

The ‘Traverse’ is the most sought after multi-day winter mountaineering route in the Northeast.

The Presidential Range Traverse is a difficult and challenging mountaineering adventure in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Trail conditions vary widely from deep snows to thinly snow covered rocks and verglas ice. The majority of the 20+ mile, 3 day traverse is above tree-line exposing climbers to the beauty and magnificent views of the White Mountains and also to the physical and mental demands constant exposure to the weather brings. Extreme arctic conditions are common in the Presidentials with 0 to -20 degree temps, 40 to 60+ mph winds, and fog and blinding windswept snow causing full whiteout conditions that should be planned for and expected.

Prior mountaineering experience and being in good physical condition is required. You will be carrying a 50 lb pack in rugged terrain making crampon and snowshoe skills as well as winter backpacking and camping experience extremely helpful.
