Alexander, this must be one heck of a peaceful and exhilarating job you have up there, I would bet that it almost feels like vacation/heaven up there at times.
Awesome photos. Thanks for sharing, see you up there soon, i'm sure!

I'm thinking of backpacking up the Alum trail in a few weeks. Assuming the snow is like it is now, what do you recomment for extra footwear? Snowshoes? Microspikes? Cramp-ons?

Thanks

Hi Alex: I share the same sentiment as Patty S.: the Smokies, and especially the lodge, are my favorite place in this world. C'est magnifique ! Telles belles photos de la neige !!

I agree with everyone that you have one of the best jobs in the world. You are very lucky. I am curious to your response to David Barry's post. Thanks for the pictures. Also, did you hike up form Alum in the dark?

@David Barry,
It depends on the conditions. If there is a lot of fresh powder you will want snowshoes. If it has been warm and the snow is packed down and turned to ice, you will want micro-spikes. I always carry my ice walkers this time of year. Snow shoes will just depend on the depth of the snow. I hope this helps.
Happy Hiking,
