I went above tree line in winter only once, and only on Monadnock, with my 20-something son. It did not take long to realize that even one of us spraining an ankle or otherwise unable to walk could be disastrous. Never again, even with two people.
Also, now is the time for Think to chime in with a Ty Gagne book recommendation. I picked one up last summer on his earlier recs--a great read, thanks!
