Hey John -
Glad to see you still post on this BB. Hope everything is well with you.
There was a recent thread re: the relative difficulty of the ADK's compared to the Whites. I think it's accurate to say, that for those who done both, the ADKs win hands down. I also thought the ADKs got more snow, in general, than the Whites, but there was some disagreement on that point. But, most of those who disagreed had done no/little hiking in the ADKs but were comparing data they'd found on the internet.
Since you're a winter 111er, whadya think? Are the Daks snowier? Less? More?
Take care -
Kevin
