Katahdin is a magical place in winter.
We've climbed Maine's highest peak, located in Baxter State Park dozens of times, both summer and winter. This time the conditions lined up to go up and over the mountain via the Abol Trail instead of the long slog around on the park Tote Road via Roaring Brook Campground. It's shorter, but more consequential if the weather goes south or the avalanche conditions are active. The conditions were stunning, we had beautiful views of the Knife Edge and the vast Maine woods all to ourselves.

You should! The Baxter State Park website has a ton of information on rules and how to approach planning a trip in winter. Katahdin is a different mountain in winter. Check the site out if looking for more info or give them a call!

Great footage as always guys. Love your content. I live in southern Maine and haven’t gone to Baxter State Park. I’m a Father of two under three. Busier than ever but can swing a couple trips a year. Your footage gives such a great perspective. Can’t wait to hit the knife edge this year if I can swing the time. Planning a trip up Washington’s Huntington Ravine in August with a few crazy friends. Keep it up! Maybe see you out there sometime. 😀

Cheers man! Hope you can get a day in the park and up Katahdin for yourself. It would be cool to get the kiddos up Katahdin when they’re old enough…

@@chrisandchris starting them on local hills. 1.5 mile loops are manageable for now 😂 love to see them explore out there. They seem to enjoy it and will bring them along until that changes. 😊 they are one and three years old. Life is wild.

I'm super intrigued by this approach to Katahdin in the winter. I'd love to ski it but I the logistics of the longer approach have always deterred me. Could I send you an email with some questions on what it took to pull this off?

@chrisandchris 23 дня назад

Happy to help. Send us an email at chris@chrismshane.com

Are there avalanche reports for katahdin posted anywhere?

@danielsan4603 7 дней назад

Would also love to hear about any info/resources you found online that helped you prep for the trip

Baxter State Park does not provide and avy resources for Kathadin. All avy knowledge and backcountry preparedness would need to be done by the individual once in the park. We're pretty familiar with Katahdin and the park, with the biggest unknowns in winter being snow conditions and winter weather in remote, backcountry like Baxter State Park. The best resource is still the park website which has an abundance of info on winter travel. You can always call the park and ask additional questions as well and they'll be happy to answer. There are several older trip reports from when blog posts and summitpost where popular, but they're a bit dated now. They do still provide a good sense of what things look and feel like when it comes to traveling in Baxter State Park in winter. We have another video from Katahdin in winter that's from a longer trip if you want to see more of what the park is like in winter.

What’s the point of the cross country skis? Seems like a waste of weight bringing 2 pairs of boots and skis

@chrisandchris 6 месяцев назад

They’re much comfier and lighter on the feet and definitely faster. Saves the feet from slamming around in big ski boots on flat ground for a few hours. It’s a 5mile mostly flat ski to the start of the actual mountain so we prefer to save our feet for the good stuff
