| Comments: |
Piper-Whiteface Trail to the stonewall was decently packed for snowshoe use. No sign of recent snowshoe use (one set of ski trails) heading toward Piper.
Snowmobile portion of Whiteface Trail was not overly packed, due to lots of drifting. Snowshoes definitely came in handy.
Overall, snowpack was generally 2-4 feet (upper range of that being the drifted areas). |
