My Locale	Northern California
About Me	Steve Nelson, Winter Systems Editor, has been backpacking and playing in the snow since he was a kid growing up in upstate New York. Now living in California, he backpacks throughout the Sierra Nevada and Cascades, and has a special love for winter camping, snowshoeing and backcountry skiing. He likes to travel fast and light, is always on the lookout for ways to safely shave ounces from gear, and never met a storm he didn't enjoy.

	Nessmuk's canoe Thanks, guys. The photos of Nessmuk's canoe, the gorgeous guideboat, and other sights before the hike were all taken at the Adirondack Museum, a place I highly recommend for kids and adults ...	In Trip Reports » Adirondacks Advice July 19, 9:44pm
	West Canada Lakes David - I grew up near the Adirondacks and have backpacked and canoed there extensively. West Canada Lakes is a beautiful area, and would be a fine choice for a first trip with the group. The...	In Trip Reports » Adirondacks Advice July 18, 11:45am
	Beautiful... Absolutely beautiful photos, Chris. Makes me want to visit there, and rivals my home base of the Adirondacks for fall beauty. Also would love to see a report on the Stephenson - is one in the wo...	In Editor's Roundtable » Backpacking in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Photo Essay March 19, 11:49am
	Re: Hilleberg Allak, Jannu I have a Jannu and a Saivo, and they have partial sleeves as well. I've not pitched the Jannu yet in really strong winds, but have done so with the Saivo, and it's quite easy. Just need ...	In The G Spot » Hilleberg Allak, Jannu February 27, 8:25pm

	Solo pitch of Hillebergs Enjoyable article, Roger - and fun to see so many of my photos were of use. I'll take small exception to one point, and that's on the ease of pitching dome tents in adverse conditions. M...	In Editor's Roundtable » Pitching a Tent in the Snow February 26, 12:59pm
	Re: Most expensive A Hilleberg Saivo at $775. Glad I did it - have gotten so much use out of it (though decidedly not an ultralight choice...)	In The G Spot » Most expensive? February 21, 2:30pm

	Re: How do you protect your pack from snowshoe crampons? I sometimes do the same, but more often stack them so that one is on top of the other, with the crampons on both facing the same way, and strap them to the pack with the crampons facing out. This w...	In The G Spot » How do you protect your pack from snowshoe crampons? January 26, 8:51pm
