McDude, thanks for the plug for the snowshoe hike at Knight's Pond, but I was talking with the park & rec director today, and the hike is cancelled due to a lack of good snow cover for snowshoeing. The rain last weekend put a crusty cover on an already thin amount of snow.
For Heff's relatives, if Gunstock doesn't rent to those who want to go off on their own, they may try the Nordic Skier in Wolfeboro PH 569-3151. Their website is below.
