 | Comments: |
Maybe 5-8" of powder, generally on the lower end of that range. Very little base underneath that. I wore snowshoes roundtrip in part to do a bushwhack to some ledges up top for the sunset, but otherwise one could boot up to Piper (perhaps with light traction). A little boney in places.
Carriage Road is packed out by snowmobiles. Gunstock Mountain Trail looks to be broken out for snowshoe use. |
