Backcountry in NH?

[KSdesign]

For anyone who knows the NH mountains well, my school outing club wants to do a snowshoe ascent and ski descent trip... does anyone know any good areas for this, and if a possible a shack that we could rent for cheap to rage in for the night?

 

[JacheOReally]

Mount agamenicus I have heard it good, thin woods and a snowshoe trail to the summit, about 800 vertical

Laaaaaa-zzzzzzyyy haha jk

 

[JacheOReally]

Trust me the "backcountry" that you and I both do is way more vertical than agamenicus

 

[Skier.for.life]

than angamenicus or how ever you spell it is lame

 

[JacheOReally]

the thing is it has a autoroad to the summit, so you can switch off driving and ski free all day, unfortunaly no one can drive my standard

if any of you guys are lookin to do some AT skiin in the mount washington valley area and need a guide contact mark synnott. He knows all the spots and from personal experience he knows what he is doing. here is his site:

agreed synnott is the fucking man, he's probably the coolest person

i've ever met. I've been out with him a bunch of times and it's

awesome. Mount Washington is real good. Tuckerman's, Gulf of Slides,

Sherburne Trail. We did Mt. Chocorua on skis, but the skiing there is

dicey. There's a good trail on black mountain that I've done.

There's something called Lincoln's Throat on Mount Lincoln which looks

super sick, but I've not gotten the chance to do it. The double head

ski trail is also real fun.
