Hiked up Dicey Mill and Rollins - overshot the undetectable Whiteface summit and went to Katie Sleeper trail and back the way we came. Light traction worked well - Allison and Kathy used micros most of the hike while I used Hillsound pros because my micros were in the car :(. Could use snowshoes on upper Dicey Mill and Rollins - televators might be useful. But all doable with light traction. Trails well packed BUT stay in center 8 inch ridge of trail or major posthole opportunity is evident and likely to occur. #40 on my winter 48 quest. |
