We put spikes on as soon as we got into the woods on Blueberry Ledge trail. The ledges are mostly dry rock. A couple of them still have enough of a snow ramp that you can almost walk up but that is disappearing quickly. For Rollins and Dicey Mill I used snowshoes and even so there were several places that were slippery on the downhill due to the top inch being slushy and loose. Some managed ok in spikes the whole way without too much trouble. The level area after the river crossing on Dicey Mill is extemely wet & muddy but has very little ice. |
