Comments
Comments: Trails are good shape -- fast-moving, except on Rollins Trail, where wilderness trail + three feet of snowpack = face-slapping fun. Ledges on Whiteface are packed powder and as snowshoe-able as we've ever seen them.

Note that most of the route is too soft, especially in drifted areas, for anything but snowshoes (witnessed some decent-sized postholes just off the broken portion of trail).

Excellent conditions and views -- and, we had the entire route to ourselves today.
