Last winter I skied north from the top of West Hill road in Granville with a group of friends in search of a canister that denoted the high point of an unnamed 3000 foot peak. From the topo map I noticed there was a peak across the valley by the name of Little Hans. Hans Halvorsen is one of our rising skiers and — well you can guess the connection.br /br / When I surveyed the map last night I discovered that Little Hans wouldn’t be much of an adventure at all, in fact it was right on the Long Trail. So we brought a GPS anyways and I hoped we would get to do a bushwhacking descent. We awoke to nearly freezing temps and by the time we got up on the ridge it was downright cold. We opted for the easier return via the Long Trail and Clark Brook…but the adventure awaits.div class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1847564486460994594-6785968049088111221?l=gmvsxc.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
