Abstract
Reports of rescues and accidents in the White Mountains of New Hampshire from the cold season of 2023-24. Thoughts on the Pemi Loop, the 31-mile passage around the Pemigewassett Wilderness. Hikers call for help but then hike out another way while rescuers search along Signal Ridge Trail. Chris Roma perishes while attempting a solo Pemi Loop in January. Skiers trigger an avalanche in the Great Gulf. Hypothermia puts one of a threesome in grave danger on Mount Monadnock. An ill-prepared hiker becomes dangerously cold after heading into frigid snow-blowing conditions on the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail. Sledding down Mount Avalon ends with a crash into a tree and an injury requiring a carryout. A hiker falls on the Falling Waters Trail. A trail runner encounters deep spring snow. A missing solo hiker’s body is found on the Dry River a month after he must have set out.
