Prerequisites
XC ski experience. Downhill ski experience not requred but you should be comfortable with long descents on xc skis.

Skip watching the eagles from your couch to ski among the wildlife of New Hampshire on the 2nd annual Superb Owl Sunday backcountry ski trip!

We will meet at AMC Pinkham Notch Visitor Center, and xc ski the Old Jackson Rd/Auto Rd/Connie's Way Ski Tr. This is a challenging but fun loop! It starts with a steep climb that will bring us to the lower section of the Mt. Washington Auto Road. After the descent on the Auto Road, Connie’s Way will bring us back to the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center.
It is about 6 miles and 600 feet of elevation gain. However, most of the gain is packed into the first 0.8 miles. Past xc ski experience required. Fresh snow overnight should make for great conditions.
