The ropes are in reference to ops interest in mountaineering, Franconia ridge has no need for ropes. Herring!? That's quite the trail snack. I don't particularly care for most the trails because they all seem similar to me, my go to trails are welch dickey loop and caps ridge on mt Jefferson. Probably wouldn't be your girlfriends cup of tea as they're both pretty exposed.

For your last question; I would take a mountaineering course or join a climbing gym and learn to climb, I recommend this as it would teach you valuable rope handling skills for your future endeavors.

Just a heads up, the whites seem to be chewing people up without remorse lately, what ever you do, don't be afraid to turn around, the mountain will be there tomorrow.

Gas, two stage, electric start, these are the attributes I look for in a snow blower. Electric start will not matter for the first few years of ownership, but once things wear out a little, not pulling it over 50 times in the dark, in the snow and cold, you'll be happy to drag a cord and push a button.

I'd say your pretty late to the leaf party, it's past peak here in central N.H. So it is definitely past in the north, but maybe someone knows of a pocket some where. Either way, Stowe is a great little town, If you wanted to switch to the whites you could hit up Lincoln, Woodstock N.H., or Conway for a larger town.
