White Mountains with the Frosh!

Hi team,

I hope everyone is settling into a summer routine, staying safe, fighting for justice, and helping out those who might need it during these uncertain times. My sister and I were fortunate enough to "socially distantly" hike/run with the future ski freshman (Class of 2024) in the White Mountains this past weekend, and here are the pictures we have to show for it:

The "before" pic at the Glencliff Trailhead in Benton, NH. 

Introducing.... (from left to right) Keelan, Kennedy, Jakin, and Henry! 

Atop South Peak, our first summit. 

I seem to be the only one who broke a sweat on the ascent. This is a good sign :)

Mount Moosilauke, our second peak. 

Thanks to Jakin for planning the route!

After our last peak, Hurricane Mountain (not pictured), we descended fairly quickly. 

Sonya and I had to stop at Moose Scoops in Warren, NH on the way home ... a quality establishment.

Would highly recommend the mint choc chip!

These frosh showed some true grit out there, and I'm psyched to train with them for the next three years and hopefully long after that. They have so much potential, and I know they'll crush whatever kind of season we have this winter. Here's the exact route if anyone is interested; the hurricane trail on the descent was not entirely well maintained https://www.strava.com/activities/3616309472 although definitely passable. See you on the trails and hopefully in the fall!
