Brian Irwin wrote an article for Couloir about Phillips Brook Backcountry Recreation Area
the founder of the New Hampshire backcountry yurt system passed away
Twenty-one years since writing the initial article
Irwin reflects on Altenburg’s impact on backcountry skiing on the East Coast
“So you’re a flatlander?” asked Bill Altenburg
upon hearing my plans to visit the Phillips Brook Backcountry Recreation Area
where Altenburg had erected a system of yurts among already-thinned
leased International Paper Company land in the sparsely populated region of Northern New Hampshire
Altenburg was referring to my mid-Atlantic Maryland roots
shed gladly when I moved north in search of solitude
He graced my life for 22 years before taking the big skin track in the sky on May 11
He agreed to host me at the now-shuttered Phillips Brook site to write an article for Couloir which has since merged with Backcountry Magazine
Altenburg didn’t believe in territorialism
he believed that backcountry skiers all lived by the same code; that when we’re all towing cold smoke it doesn’t matter if it’s in a tree burn or a New Hampshire clearing
Altenburg was a trailblazer in a way that most backcountry enthusiasts don’t recognize
backcountry eastern link-ups were restricted to the Appalachian Mountain Club’s huts
There was little interest in multi-day ski trips in New England before Altenburg
one where you had to really search for resources
He stoked the flames of enthusiasm for backcountry skiing in the east when it was a nascent pastime enjoyed by only a few
He proved that the east could indeed offer a hut-to-hut experience
Organizations like the Granite Backcountry Alliance may not even exist without his example
and even though most don’t recognize his name
This feature was originally published in the winter of 2003 in Couloir
Couloir merged with Backcountry Magazine in 2006
Before I lived in New England my wife and I used to make an annual pilgrimage from Maryland to ski Tuckerman Ravine
it was always a little disappointing to drive 12 hours
and crest the bowl to find 700 people with radios
On a typical spring day the snowcat-packed trail to “the Bowl” is so crowded that it is more full of potholes than postholes
so are avalanches on Tuckerman’s steep slopes
Little did we know that an hour away is a much less visited area
and quintessential New England skiing—minus the crowds
In search of northeastern powder stashes without a carnival atmosphere
we explored the Phillips Brook Backcountry Recreation area during a January full moon
Despite its association with a logging company
the Phillips Brook area is a well-preserved chunk of land
remote and beautiful—especially in the winter when the logging activity is at a minimum
The area is big—over 24,000 acres—and is owned by the International Paper company
it is leased to a private cooperation that manages the land tract
is comprised of logging roads (mostly inactive)
these trails provide access to superb eastern glades and chutes
the snowy access road follows a cascading stream (great summer trout fishing) for miles
We encountered two dogsled teams and one parked car after 30 minutes on this road
The woods are thick and clear cutting is practically absent
We were surprised to find such wild country so close to the crowded Timberland-and-Dansk-outlet lined streets of North Conway
From the trailhead we skinned up moderate terrain to the Millsfield yurt
almost like the classic old-fashioned trails that wind with
the fall line at old-school Vermont ski areas like Mad River Glen
Scattered birch groves dotted the hillsides
interspersed with hardwoods and pines—the perfect eastern blend
The eastern backcountry is known for its jungle-esque density
but around Millsfield the trees were perfectly spaced
reminiscent of an American Airlines commercial showing Billy Kidd bouncing through “champagne powder” in the aspen trees at Steamboat Springs
After a day of cutting up two feet of fresh powder in this area we settled into the yurt
sharing Jim Beam and Top Ramen with two wool-clad
We sat on the deck sipping bourbon at 2 a.m
watching the amazing green and pink ribbons of the Aurora Borealis ripple in the sky
we met a group from Vermont who was passing through during a traverse
was skiing on old wooden Tuas and well-broken-in leather boots
like a seasoned pair of combat boots (clearly pre-Vibram)
He propped his bamboo poles into his armpits
brushed the snow off the bottom of his wool slacks (which he wore with neon pink gaiters)
We followed Ben and his two brothers behind the yurt
It was easy to see why the yurt was built lower down; there was no view from this ridge
We continued to bushwhack for about a mile
plenty of fine lines jumped out at us as the thick trees melted into perfectly spaced glades
far from the reach of the closest logging road
stomping through the thicket and letting loose again as the density decreased
We finally climbed back up to the ridge and back to the yurt
The trip out was almost as fun as the glades—at least 10-foot wide strips of fresh powder flanked either side of our narrow tracks up
After two miles of freshies we were back at the truck
Our route was going to take us from Millsfield to the Dummer Ridge Yurt
From there we would head west to the Long Mountain Yurt
finishing a traverse of the range that makes up the spine of the Phillips Brook
and ice cream in the truck for the last day of the trip
but after seeing the amenities of the yurts
we were kicking ourselves for leaving the good stuff at the car and settling for dried noodles
and propane needed to whip up a huge feast without bringing anything but the food itself
Had I read the detailed information pack the Phillips Brook manager sent
Anyone who has ever done a hut-to-hut trip knows that
indulging in a big meal with wine is the most important thing
So we spent that night re-organizing our gear in the East Branch Yurt
one of the three yurts only a short walk from the access road that cuts up the middle of the wilderness area
True to hut-to-hut tradition we filled all the space in our packs (plus some)—made available by leaving tents
Just as we were dozing off we heard the soft
deliberate crunching of snow just on the other side of the canvas wall from our bunk
The larger of the two must have been 14 feet tall
He was no more than four feet from the door of the yurt
“Grab a camera!!” Carolyn loudly whispered to me
In the morning the whole area was trampled with hoof prints
The next day we skied up to the Long Mountain Yurt
This area had much more to offer than the previous yurt
A 4.1-mile ski up the Jodrey Brook trail from the valley brought us to the face of Long Mountain
Two long traverses through wide glades and we were on the ridge
looking back on the Dummer Ridge and the valley
After passing a steep chute that descends to “The Granite Shoulder” (excellent powder stashes)
the trail winds through the trees emerging on the ridge’s far side
The yurt sits in a clearing that gapes right at the north face of Mount Washington
and the lesser peaks of the White Mountains
Ben said this was the best skiing in the Phillips Brook drainage
He said higher elevation equaled more powder—a scarce commodity in the middle of the notorious
At least that’s how far I sunk in when I stepped off the deck to get more firewood from under the yurt
After dropping our packs we backtracked to an unmarked trail atop the ridge called the “String of Pearls Trail.” We skinned for about a mile across the ridge
Surrounded by thick trees I was getting skeptical that this was the “classic Phillips Brook skiing,” we were told about
Thinking I was going to have to settle for a tour of the ridge
I was pleased to see the thick trees on the downslope side of the trail thin out and give way to an entire mountainside of perfect glades
until we passed each other crossing a brook at the bottom
The sun set just behind Long Mountain and a brilliant pink lit up the heavy clouds that had sunk into the valley
leaving the snowy peaks of the Presidential Range spiking through the mist like islands in the ocean
After our feast we headed back to the String of Pearls Trail
After two runs we sat down on a log to have a sip of coffee
Carolyn gripped the thermos with both hands and took a sip
we heard the firm but delicate crunching of snow

the Landesamt für Denkmalpflege (LAD) of Stuttgart
conducted a new phase of archaeological investigations in Altenburg
just a few kilometers from the Rhine Falls
was one of the largest and most significant Celtic settlements north of the Alps during the 1st century BC
The findings have shed light on the daily life of this community and highlighted the central role of this city in Mediterranean trade and as a hub of specialized artisanal activities
The oppidum of Altenburg-Rheinau occupies two peninsulas: the Schwaben peninsula
such as the studies conducted in the 1970s by the University of Tübingen
had already provided information about the organization of the settlement over a total area of 320 hectares
carried out between 2022 and 2024 by the LAD
have expanded our knowledge of the structures and activities at this site
conducted in areas near the main defensive wall known as “Schanz,” multiple filled pits were identified
project director and specialist in the Metal Ages
exhibit distinct fill layers and were likely originally used for food storage
remnants of underground structures with access through ramps or earthen stairs were discovered
possibly serving as cellars or storage facilities
evidence of residential buildings is scarce
Only one square-plan post structure was uncovered
interpreted as a possible warehouse rather than a dwelling
Among the most remarkable finds are fragments of local ceramics and imported items such as Italian amphorae used to transport wine
a luxury good highly prized by the Celtic elite
evidence of a monetary economy that facilitated long-distance trade
these discoveries confirm the existence of a well-structured trade network connecting the oppidum with the Mediterranean
a writing instrument used to inscribe on wax tablets
This object not only demonstrates the use of writing at the settlement but also underscores the administrative and economic sophistication necessary to sustain extensive trade exchanges
such as fibulae and bronze and iron buckles decorated with intricate designs
provide insights into the daily life and fashion of the oppidum inhabitants
suggests an economy based on organized livestock farming and specialized meat production
The excavations would not have been possible without the collaboration of volunteers and logistical support from the local community
numerous individuals had the opportunity to visit the site and witness ongoing research
aiming to further unveil the secrets of this fascinating Celtic settlement

Archaeological excavations conducted by the State Office for Monument Preservation (LAD) within the Stuttgart Regional Council between August and October 2024 near Altenburg
have revealed significant findings at the late Celtic oppidum Altenburg-Rheinau
which thrived during the first century BCE
was a major center for trade and specialized crafts north of the Alps
The 2024 excavations focused near the fortification wall on the Schwaben peninsula
highlighted the discovery of large cylindrical pits up to 2.5 meters deep
were likely used for food storage,” Wieland explained
Some pits had rectangular or oval bases and may have been accessed via earthen stairs or ramps
While evidence of aboveground residential structures remains sparse
a square post structure uncovered nearby is thought to have been a storage building
Artifacts unearthed from the Altenburg-Rheinau site underscore its importance as a hub of trade and cultural exchange
Local coarse and fine pottery fragments were found alongside imported wine amphorae from Italy
“Wine from the Mediterranean was a coveted luxury among the Celtic elite and a cornerstone of lucrative trade,” noted Wieland
Coins from the first century BCE provide further evidence of a monetary economy facilitating trade
The presence of ornately decorated brooches
and other costume accessories made of bronze and iron offers a glimpse into the daily lives and craftsmanship of the Celts
One of the most intriguing discoveries came during the 2023 excavations: a bone stylus used for writing on wax tablets
“This is rare evidence of the use of writing in the oppidum,” Wieland said
it was a crucial prerequisite for trade with the Mediterranean region.”
The large quantities of well-preserved animal bones
found at the site point to organized livestock farming and specialized meat production
These findings provide a deeper understanding of the economic systems and settlement organization within the oppidum
plans are underway for further excavations in 2025

Marathons don’t happen by themselves; they require months of planning and an expertise in engineering and crowd science
That’s doubly true for the world’s largest race
The first thing Ted Metellus did when the 2021 New York City Marathon wrapped up
was to start planning for this year’s race
“It’s on my mind all the time,” says Metellus
the race director and vice president of the New York Road Runners (NYRR)
Stretching across five boroughs in the country’s largest
with as many athletes on course that would normally fill the stands at a sporting event—though it also has its many thousands of spectators—the marathon is a complex negotiation of time
“It is one of the single largest mobilizations of resources in the city,” says Metellus
even with a reduced pandemic field of more than 21,000 runners
some 41,240 gallons of Poland Spring water—and 1.4 million paper cups—were dispensed to runners on course (in addition to the 45,000-plus bottles given out at the start); along with 30,000 Honey Stinger gels
Some 122,760 pounds of clothing was shed by the runners at the start
even therapy dogs and psychologists at the start
“Sometimes people just need a moment to kind of settle themselves in when you’re getting ready for an event of this scope,” says Metellus
when 97 people were killed in a crush caused by overcrowding
he’s been involved with numerous high-profile events
from presidential inaugurations to rock concerts to football championships to
managing the massive crowds that queued to pay respect to Queen Elizabeth
he began working with the NYRR on the world’s largest race
when the first wave of athletes—the professional handcyclists—set off on the course
looking to see if his exquisitely calculated script plays out as calculated
The starting process is itself massive: It will easily take longer to dispense the five waves of runners
in 15 “corrals,” across three starting points
than it will take the best runners to complete the race (it takes 18 minutes
“It is the last moment we can influence the race,” he says
“It’s the last time someone listens to you—the last time we can tell them
When he started working with the Road Runners
“We were convinced that the way we start impacts everything on the course,” Altenburg says
“That everything on the course is of our own making.”
After backwards engineering previous years’ data
Altenburg advised that changing to 15 corrals
He told Metellus: “If you give us the start
Breaking the race up into five minute windows
Altenburg projected that the largest finishing wave would consist of 1,366 runners
“He was from Mexico.” But his overall estimate was 99.93 percent accurate
his “Start Right” predictive algorithm born
any contingency that might arrive—even a global pandemic that suddenly required six-foot social distancing—could be modeled
as opposed to the “open start,” is now fairly de facto at most major international marathons
“are in love with this big crowd picture at the start of the race—a guy shoots a gun
and everyone start at the same time.” But that’s no longer possible in the largest events
“and the cities are definitely not getting bigger.”
“they don’t need to be on the start line—you get to start two hours later and still get your finishing time.” Key to this
is making the departure point narrower than anything they’ll experience on course—and keeping the “water tap” open only to 70 percent
It’s a bit like “ramp metering,” those traffic lights that tell you when you can enter the highway
What differentiates a marathon from other crowd-management scenarios is its dynamic nature
“in which everyone is constantly changing the order of everything.”
Compared to even a large event like the Queen’s funeral
50,000 times more complicated.” With something like a soccer match
then they go home.” These are all big steps
they never sit once.” They are arriving “by all means of transport,” then circulating around the start village
and trying to find their family or friends
“Fifty-five-thousand people are making their way in shorts
Armed with huge amounts of computing power
and a hope that people more or less run at the pace they have said they are going to run
Altenburg needs to calculate every single runner
“The ideal experience is that I see the same 100 people throughout most of my race,” he says
“The organizer is going to great lengths to minimize the number of overtakes on the course.”
or by contrast constantly having to “zig-zag” past groups of other runners
but can be unsafe (the algorithms provide for an ideal of three square meters for each runner
a number that was briefly increased during the era of social distancing)
will “immediately stretch,” while runners further back may spend more time together
passing many runners—which was often not easy on narrow Brooklyn streets—before slowing in the second half
but New York is a living organism,” Altenburg says
new bike lanes are built; all things that might not affect the individual runner
further constraining the streetscape (for some
Working with the city’s Department of Transportation (DOT)
the NYRR conducts a number of course inspections in the months leading up to the event
“We do not allow steel plates on the roadway,” the DOT’s Jessica Colaizzi told me
“We stand very firm on that and we work closely with contractors to make sure the plates disappear.”
this will hardly matter—they’ll be finished by the time warmer temperatures set in
Altenburg has observed some aggregate trends about the New York City Marathon over the years
“People always speed up when they hit Manhattan,” he says
“even though the advice is don’t—you still have eight miles to go!”
But another trend is that as the race gets larger
“They are attracting a lot of people who see it as a bucket list race,” he says
and you want to do it at least once.” Altenburg himself has run it

forerunner of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod's Concordia Seminary in St
founded in 1867; and the Lutheran Heritage Center & Museum
which is observing the 175th anniversary of the immigration of 700 Lutherans from Saxony
...Editor's note: This story has been modified to correct the year of the founding of Trinity Lutheran Church
founded in 1839 and built in 1867; and the Lutheran Heritage Center & Museum
A few blocks away is Immanuel Lutheran Church
you'll find Concordia Lutheran Church
president of the board of the Perry County Lutheran Historical Society
the story of the immigration is a painful story
After spending $9,234 from their communal treasury for 4,475 acres in Perry County
the immigrants "had to learn about poison ivy and poisonous snakes
"This was a wilderness with trees all the way from the Mississippi River to Perryville
the Lutherans came here for religious freedom
"The state church was telling them to teach and preach things they didn't buy into," he said
"It had mostly to do with the Sacraments and whether Jesus is actually present during the Lord's Supper
Explaining that Saxony is in southern Germany and many of the newcomers were professional people from Dresden
Schmidt said their 1839 arrival presented problems including the discovery that their leader
remembered as "The Messengers," came from Brazeau
The Presbyterians were like the Indians had been for the pilgrims
"These messengers of God had been here for a while
and they realized these people were over here starving to death
and the museum shows the manifests of the ships that sailed from Germany to New Orleans -- the Republik
which sank off the coast of Spain with 53 passengers
"A bunch of artifacts came on the ships," Schmidt said
noting the museum's display of wooden shoes
clothing and a 1568 edition of the writings of Martin Luther
started as a children's small one-room gymnasium
It graduated five men as pastors before it was institutionally transferred to St
"You could argue the Lutheran school system in the Missouri Synod is second only to the Catholics," said Schmidt
a former fifth through eighth grade teacher and principal in St

Christoph Steffen/LADAerial view of the site where the Celtic settlement Altenburg-Rheinau once stood two millennia ago
the German State Office for the Preservation of Monuments (LAD) carried out archaeological research near the city of Altenburg
late-Celtic cylindrical pits with “clearly distinguishable filling layers” believed to be used in food storage
These findings are just the latest in a series of discoveries at the remains of this Celtic oppidum (a fortified Iron Age settlement or town)
while previous excavations turned up equally fascinating results
digging in 2023 led to the discoveries of coins
and an ancient writing stylus made from bone
all offering deeper insight into Celtic daily life some 2,000 years ago
The Altenburg-Rehinau oppidum has been a subject of archaeological interest since at least the 1970s, according to a press statement from the LAD
It was then that experts from the University of Tübingen made initial observations about settlement structures on the 576-acre “Schwaben” peninsula
the LAD decided to further investigate this region’s ancient past
The 2024 archaeological excavation focused on the area near the fortification wall
where researchers found numerous filled pits
Yvonne Mühleis/LADCeltic artifacts found at the Altenburg-Rehinau site
“Characteristic findings were several large
cylindrical pits with clearly distinguishable filling layers that were up to two and a half meters deep,” reported project leader Dr
head of the Metal Ages department at the LAD
What remained of the wall linings seemed to be made of organic material
suggesting the pits were originally used for food storage
featuring both rectangular and oval floor plans
likely had staircases or ramps as entryways into their subterranean depths
researchers have found little evidence of aboveground housing structures so far
Before these pits were uncovered and hinted at various aspects of Celtic life here
previous excavations at the site yielded other fascinating artifacts that did the same — including a pen made of bone
archaeologists discovered a bone stylus which would have been used to write on wax tablets
as was the Mediterranean custom of the time
Yvonne Mühleis/LADThe pen made of animal bone that was found at this ancient Celtic site in southern Germany
“This is rare evidence of the use of writing in the oppidum
was an essential prerequisite for trade with the Mediterranean region,” Wieland said
Numerous well-preserved animal bones were found at the site
offering even more insight into the oppidum’s economic system
and long-distance commercial relationships throughout the region
suggesting that organized livestock farming and specialized meat production were present
each excavation uncovered a large number of ceramics
“In addition to local coarse and fine ceramics
fragments of imported wine amphorae from Italy are particularly worth mentioning,” Wieland said
“Wine from the Mediterranean was a sought-after luxury item among the Celtic upper class and the basis for a lucrative trade.”
come from around the time of the first century B.C.E.
when many of the Celtic settlements in southwest Germany had already been abandoned
Further research at the site is planned for 2025
so perhaps future discoveries will shed even more light on the story of Altenburg-Rheinau
After reading about the recent discoveries at Altenburg-Rheinau, learn about 11 fascinating creatures from Celtic folklore. Then, learn about the mystical Celtic warrior Cú Chulainn.

but there’s a lot more inclusion now,” Altenburg said
“I hope a lot of people can learn to row and have the opportunity to.”
Both will continue to row and train through the upcoming winter
Coach Russell said that training could commence on the water as long as the combined temperatures of the water and air were above 80 degrees and there was no lightning or other abnormal weather events
