when/what is mud season? when could i attempt such a thing? i figure it is
icy cold and snowy up there and not exactly the best idea to do this time of
year, right? and any other questions i should have asked too.


Mud season ends Memorial Day by bureaucratic decree. I have seen snow in the 
trail on the North facing slope of the higher mountains the first part of 
June. Any distance hike of the Long Trail before the middle of May will get you 
into snow on the mountain tops.
