INTRODUCTORY REMARKS: Our unprecedented (for November anyway) stretch of sunny weather means that there currently isn't enough snow to ski even the Whiteface Highway - just man-made snow at the ski area - so it's another weekend for hiking. Friday will start sunny but rain will start in the afternoon. Some chance of snow showers along with the rain Friday night and Saturday, but seemingly not enough to produce any skiing. Nighttime temperatures have continued to drop below freezing, so there is considerable ice on all the hiking trails, starting about 3,000 feet. Traction aids will thus practically be mandatory for any ascents of the higher peaks. Only a few inches of snow at timberline, so snowshoes are not required. Nevertheless, be prepared for winter conditions on the summits and remember that it is dar before 5 PM.
