Companion forum thread to: Camping in a Catskills Blizzard
A winter storm warning was in full effect for the Catskill Mountains. This would most likely be our last chance to get a taste of winter camping and snowshoeing in for the season. We have done this before, headed out into the mountains to catch a wicked snow storm and ride it out, so this was nothing new for either one of us. Granted it is dangerous and taking some risk, but we were fully prepared and have all the proper gear and clothing, and our plan was mostly flawless. I do not recommend anyone do this unless you have experience, proper gear and clothing, and understand all of the risk involved.
