| Comments: |
Brisk morning for a quick trip up Whiteface. The trail started with no snow/minimal and then transitioned to patchy snow and ice. Once on the jeep road portion there was more snow and ice with patches of bare ground and rock. I was able to bareboot without issues but spikes would be a good option higher up. Several others out this morning and most were wearing spikes. Crystal clear views with many 4000 footers visible. |
