Breathtaking landscape of Mount Washington with clear blue sky and lush greenery. Mount Washington has some of the best hiking trails in the White Mountains

Hi There! I’m Diane!


Hike & Ski was created for people who love the White Mountains of New Hampshire and want to enjoy them safely, confidently, and with respect for how quickly conditions can change.
I’m an experienced hiker and skier who has spent years exploring these mountains in all seasons. I’ve seen calm bluebird days turn into whiteouts, dry trails turn icy in minutes, and “easy” outings become serious situations if you’re not prepared. Those experiences are exactly why this site exists.

Why This Site Exists

The White Mountains are beautiful, but they are not forgiving.
Every year, hikers and skiers get into trouble here — not because they’re careless, but because they underestimate the terrain, the weather, or how fast things can change. My goal with Hike & Ski is simple:
Help you enjoy the mountains while reducing unnecessary risk.
This isn’t about fear. It’s about awareness, preparation, and making smart decisions so you can keep coming back year after year.
