Beautiful and cold day! Took Blueberry ledge up and used microspikes from the parking lot, I switched to snowshoes once it got steep for the televators and the snow depth was getting deeper. The ledges were navigable in snowshoes but a little tricky in spots. I saw others in spikes but I chose to leave the snowshoes on due to snow depth. Luckily the ledges were not really icy, mostly just covered in snow. The winds today caused some drifting on Rollins trail but saw a few people doing fine in spikes. Wore snowshoes over to Passaconway and switched back to spikes on the way down. Overall trail conditions were good but definitely still bony in places especially down low |
