Lowville area

I'll be spending 5 days near Lowville in a couple weeks. I've done some searching on the net and know about Whetstone Gulf, Barnes Corners and Carpenter Road. I've been to BREIA, so am familiar with that. Are there any hidden gems in that area that I should ski ? Of Whetstone, Barnes Corners and Carpenter Road -- which should I focus on if I could only hit one of those places ? Any of those places overrun by snowmobiles and best avoided ?



Thanks in advance...



Also -- if anyone knows where I can get a growler(or 5) filled in that area that would be appreciated as well.
