Reply to comment by Cullen7777 in Mount Lafayette...? by Sky-Grey
If we wanted to do more winter hiking before mountaineering would you recommend Lafayette?

It depends. Do you have whiteout navigation experience? If the answer’s no, then be very careful about the weather forecast. It’s doable, but you need to hit good weather. Also, just because the forecast doesn’t call for snow doesn’t mean there won’t be snow available for wind transport…pay attention to forecasted wind speeds. Have a backup plan. Most importantly remember the mountain will be there in the future.
Mount Washington Observatory publishes a daily Higher Summits Forecast.
