Reply to comment by newenglandpolarbear in Mount Major hiking, area mountain biking questions by degggendorf

Glove warmers!? I appreciate your concern, but last weekend I hiked the highest mountain in the Adirondacks (plus two others), below zero the whole day, with a wind chill at the summits something like -30. I think I'll be okay below freezing for two miles, that's like light jacket weather.

Of course I'll watch for new snow, but generally stuff fully melts between storms around there, right?

Listen pal, I wear shorts in sub freezing weather, but that's also irrelevant. You came here for advice, I gave you advice. Don't be an arrogant jerk.

You gave irrelevant advice that I didn't ask for...from my perspective you mansplaining light hiking to me seems awfully arrogant too.

Do you want advice or to hear what you want to hear?

...you know I'm asking about the 1,700 ft hill called Mount Major, right?

If you think that's equivalent to one of the Franconia Range, then you're not the type of person I'm looking for advice from.
