 | Comments: |
I pretty much wore snowshoes all day. There were some small sections of bony trail but I kept them on anyway. The ledges on blueberry ledge trail were a bit tricky, the scrambling parts are a combo of bare rock and thick ice. From whiteface summit to the diceys mill junction, only one other snowshoer made tracks before me. The snow was mushy and will definitely need to be packed down by snowshoes a bit more. Diceys mill trail is in pretty good shape top to bottom for just spikes. |
