For anyone who knows the NH mountains well, my school outing club wants to do a snowshoe ascent and ski descent trip... does anyone know any good areas for this, and if a possible a shack that we could rent for cheap to rage in for the night?

Mount agamenicus I have heard it good, thin woods and a snowshoe trail to the summit, about 800 vertical

the thing is it has a autoroad to the summit, so you can switch off driving and ski free all day, unfortunaly no one can drive my standard

agreed synnott is the fucking man, he's probably the coolest person i've ever met. I've been out with him a bunch of times and it's awesome. Mount Washington is real good. Tuckerman's, Gulf of Slides, Sherburne Trail. We did Mt. Chocorua on skis, but the skiing there is dicey. There's a good trail on black mountain that I've done.
There's something called Lincoln's Throat on Mount Lincoln which looks super sick, but I've not gotten the chance to do it. The double head ski trail is also real fun.
