The weather in the White Mtns. Is capable of killing you with little warning. In the late 80’s I did the Mt. Washington Hillclimb race (bicycle). It was sunny and 80 at the start, and 45 and 10 foot visibility at the top. Although I now live at 7500’ in New Mexico, and have spent a fair amount of time hiking and cross country skiing above 10000’, the weather here is far less scary.

My CA sister gave me a “White Mountains” T-shirt.
The image didn’t look familiar to me, and looked up “White Mountains”.
Sure enough, NM has its own “White Mountains”!
