Snowshoe Regulations in the High Peaks
May 8, 2008 by newyorkoutdoors
Snowshoe regulations in the high peaks - I didn’t know such laws existed. Kevin’s violation was to “ fail to possess and use skis or snowshoes when the terrain is snow-covered with eight or more inches of snow;” with the intent of preventing post-holing on trails. Read his story here.
The High Peaks are such a heavily traveled area that regulation after regulation is necessary. It reminds me of why I avoid the High Peaks region when I’m looking for a back country experience.
