We watched Andrew's and Richard's daughters race at Waterville Valley then did a quick ascent of Tecumseh (2h14m). We got back way before the 2nd race was scheduled to start but still missed it because they moved it up 30m. Congrats to Helena for qualifying for states.
Stats:
An overview of my Single Season Winter 48 with links to all the trip reports is here.
Andrew and Rich came from Cannon to Waterville Valley to watch their kids race. This is Andrew's daughter Helena approaching the finish line. She took 12th place and qualified for the state competition in 2 weeks.
The only ice we saw all day. Temps were in the 40s.
Hiking in just a base layer with the sleeves pushed up, no hat, no gloves.
Great view from the top of Tecumseh with the Tripyramids in the background. Greta, Andrew's Swiss Mountain Dog, loved the hike, but forgot the Jägermeister.
Another shotof the Tripyramids, which Alex and I hiked yesterday.
A woman at the summit not only took the excellent photo of us with Greta the Swiss Mountain Dog, but also pointed out the surrounding peaks. She told me this view shows Whiteface and Passaconaway; I plan to hike them on March 4.
Rich identified the white dome in the background as Moosilauke.
Andrew suggested we hike down the ski trail to get to his daughter's 2nd race on time. We actually got there early but still missed it because they moved it up 30 minutes.
Tripyramid Ridge. Alex and I hike up Scaur Tr (I think it is the ridge going right to left towards the little peak on the left) then up Nort Tripyramid (in the center with the prominent North Slide) and across to Middle Tripyramid (the big bump to the right of N Tri), but did not continue to South Tripyramid (with the slide going down to the right) because it isn't on the NH48 list (and because we were tired of breaking trail).
Looking back up at Mt Tecumseh from the base of the ski resort.
Gotta love ski resort prices. $7 for fries. The 603 White Peaks IPA was not your typical IPA. More of a malt profile but very tasty. I followed it with a Harpoon IPA. Harpoon was my favorite 10 years ago, but don't much like it here. I suppose the draft line could be contaminated, so shouldn't totally dismiss Harpoon IPA until I try it from a bottle again.

After the first race, we hiked Tecumseh, hoping to get back in time for the 2nd race. It only took us 2h14m (about an hour faster than I hiked it in the summer), but we still missed Helena's 2nd race because they moved the start time up 30 minutes.
