There, as was true a few miles to the north in the high White Mountains, the snow piled up. Even as occasional thaws melted back the depths, new snow kept arriving; the result was a thick and solid throwback snowpack that made an excellent base for wandering up and sliding down hills little and large. One late-January day I strapped on snowshoes and bushwhacked oh-so- slowly up a local ridge through 16 inches of new snow in the beech and hemlock groves. Moose had already browsed the buds of their favored hobblebush twigs and moved on to the birch and maples. Wild turkeys were roosting in the trees and scouring tree wells for seed; they were peeved when I flushed them, and they winged their heavy bodies up to new perches.
