| Comments: |
About 6" or so of snow with some deeper drifts. The Whiteface Mountain Trail was decently packed up to the stonewall. Thereafter, the Piper-Whiteface Link hadn't seen as much traffic. The icy ledges are currently decently covered up and easily navigated with snowshoes. I opted for snowshoes roundtrip and was glad to have them. |
