| Comments: |
Excellent conditions Saturday with clear blue skies and no wind. All trails had plenty of snow and well packed. The right choice was snowshoes up and down. Blueberry ledge was great but top portion was very steep and dangerous, as advertised in white mt guide book. Wouldn't want to be forced to descend it, if there was an emergency. Previous reports a few days earlier had it right, Rollins trail packed very high with snow and subsequently was getting hit in the face with branches for pretty much the whole traverse across. Diceys Mill going down in great shape and easy with snowshoes. |
