Mount Whiteface is showing DANGEROUS conditions
See exactly why with full AI conditions — hazard alerts, gear recommendations, and the best hiking window.
See Full ConditionsBest Hiking Window
Avoid Saturday entirely due to the active storm system. Sunday morning offers the best near-term window as clearing begins, with calmer winds and improving visibility — plan an early morning start to take advantage of clearer skies before afternoon showers and convective activity develop by midday Sunday. Be prepared for lingering muddy, wet, and potentially icy trail surfaces even on Sunday.
Trail: Flat Mountain Pond Trail, McCrillis Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Leaves - Significant/Slippery
“This trail is never in a trail report since it's not the popular way to snag Whiteface, so I figured I'd do my part to spread the word. I am not a Blueberry Ledges person so this was the best way for me to ascend Whiteface. The trail is in good shape despite not being heavily used. My only complaint were all of the leaves covering the trail. Got off course twice on the lower section but otherwise the trail corridor is obvious (at least to me). My research said not to do this trail after a lot of rainfall and I see why - significant water crossing and exposed ledges at the top. Since we haven't had any major rain since last week, I had no issues with either. No snow or ice to speak of. Only saw two people all day.”
Trail: Blueberry Ledge Trail, Rollins Trail, Dicey's Mill Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“I had fun with the scrambles on Blueberry. I'm 5'4" tall and was able to find my way up by staying left, then right, then far left on the major scrambles. Nice views from Whiteface south peak. Filtered water at the tent site near Passaconaway. A few minor muddy and wet areas especially down low on Diceys. A log bridge kept my feet dry on the stream crossing. Snow and ice are gone, my spikes went for a ride. Overall, trails are well maintained.”
Trail: Blueberry Ledge Trail, Blueberry Ledge Cutoff, Rollins Trail, Dicey's Mill Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Snow/Ice - Monorail (Stable), Leaves - Significant/Slippery, Snow/Ice - Small Patches
“A beautiful day for a walk in the woods. Met TJ in the parking lot and decided to hike the Blueberry Ledge Cutoff which neither of us had hiked before. What a nice trail! It was covered in leaves so I was happy to be going up instead of down it. Blueberry Ledge is wonderful, as always. There is some icy monorail going down Whiteface which we were able to avoid by walking next to it. The snowy sections were grippy; We both had spikes but didn't use them. Hopefully the rain this week will degrade the ice even more. Headed up Passaconaway was wet in spots. I didn't use the loop as I could see a deep monorail and didn't want to bother with it. Dicey's Mill is fast.”
