this is not tundra. tundra is created and defined by the presence of permafrost, which does not exist here. it is rather a mixture of boreal forest and heath barrens (type of shrubland). the treeless expanses here are caused by acidic bogs and constantly shifting ground, rather than frozen sediment

I remember when I went to whiteface mountain there were no trees on the top of the mountain and it was mainly just dirt and moss and rocks

Yessss I live in Vermont, near the green mountains. It is a sub division of the Appalachian Mountains and we have tundra that’s survived from the ice age! Our mountains are a little higher here so the cold weather helps preserve it. It’s really cool
