One of our early season traditions - requiring only a few inches of snow - is to ski up the unplowed Toll Road up Whiteface. Often conditions in the last mile are abysmal and so most often we bail on the idea of tagging thesummit. Yesterday the conditions were fantastic, and we made a short video of our tour. Lucy is in the bright blue parka. Enjoy.
