I have been surfing for many years and recently took up snowboarding.
I have a book on backcountry snowboarding, but I just found this trail
in the white mountains which is actually a snowmobile trail, but I
also have a pair of snowshoes. I noticed there are other trails for me
to explore in this same area that are about the same width that
snowmobilers aren't allowed to use. So I walked in about 3 miles or so
on this snowmobile trail and snowboarded all the way out. The trail
was about 12 feet wide and I didn't wear a helmet so I could hear
approaching snowmobiles more easily. It was rather fun. I just
happened to find this trail, it's not mentioned in the book. I liked
the quiet and solitude (except for a few snowmobiles) compared to ski
areas. I'm curious if anyone else knows of some good places or how to
find them ? Anywhere from Adirondaks to New England, though NH is
closest to me. I enjoyed this a good deal more than I would have
imagined, there's something about it that I don't get from ski areas
with lifts.

My first attempt at back country boarding was not too much fun, the
book I have is 10 years old. I tried going up mount Garefield trail,
but it had become all overgrown with shrubs which meant it was know
about 5 feet wide instead of the 10 feet mentioned in the book.
