 | Comments: |
Trails are currently in great shape and easy to follow. I wore spikes which were needed going up the rock slabs to Piper Mt. There is solid ice under the very powdery snow, but spikes were good enough for traction today (I had snowshoes, but didn't need them). Heading up to Whiteface Mt was a breeze, minimal ice and an easy trail to follow. It was a beautiful day to be out! |
