 | Comments: |
On the outset of Blueberry Ledge there was light powder. We wore spikes until the trail steepened, then put on snowshoes. After Whiteface there was lots of drifting (6”-2’) over Rollins all the way up Dicey’s Mill. And a moose postholed the hell out of the trail near the Passaconaway summit. We used shoes across the ridge and up to the Passaconaway summit. Spikes all the way down Dicey’s Mill. At low elevations the trail could use some snowshoe love. |
