 | Comments: |
4+ inches at the lower elevations, 6+ in higher elevations. Trail well broken out all the way to whiteface and beyond. Bare booted up to the ledges, did the ledges with microspikes as there wasn't much ice for the crampons to grab a hold. At upper elevations and along the ridge, snowshoes would be perfect, I had them but didn't change to them as I was only doing whiteface. |
