Thanks to those who cleaned up the blowdowns from last month, the trails are mostly clear. This is what appears to be a more recent blowdown higher up on Dicey's Mill; branches broken off enough to make it an easy stepover. |

These trails are in excellent shape right now. It was lightly snowing all morning, just enough for a dusting a fresh snow. Dicey's Mill is practically a sidewalk. Rollins had some light drifts over an fairly supportive base. I brought snowshoes but was fine staying in spikes the whole time. It was windy with consistent light snow falling so I would expect a bit of drifting on the trails tomorrow.
I saw crossed paths with two other hikers today (always great running into Peter C! ). Both went up Dicey's Mill, so I do not have any info on Blueberry Ledge. One of the hikers was planning to descend it however.
