Simply said it was a great day. Blue sky and tons of sun. Detailed write up here http://chrisdiannefamily.com/2013/03/26/12-mile-hike-to-white-face/ and photo and video here http://chriswilliams.smugmug.com/Travel/Hiking/White-Face-March-2013/28598653_Cs5tMt.
Blueberry was well packed but snowshoes needed on top 50%. The ridge via Rollins was not really used but one person was ahead of us, who packed out the tons of snow and drifts. He also did the trail finding for although there were a few deadends... Dacey's Mill very packed. We decended Passaconaway via the back side which I don't think has been used all winter. Made for some fun snow shoe sking. Lots of sticky wet snow which had us banging our snow shoes all day. Need to look into waxing the bottoms to reduce sticking snow. |
