 | Comments: |
Broke trail in 8-14 inches of fluffy powder on top of the hardpack base with some knee deep drifts in places. Snow was fluffy enough that one could cut through and slip on the blue ice on the ledges. Good snowshoeing, though. Tracks were drifting in within a few minutes in the open areas.
No sign of tracks coming from the north on the ridge (ie from the Carriage Road) or going to Whiteface. |
