Overall, conditions were pretty good! Started up around 9 am and bare booted the first mile. The trail got a bit icy at that point. So I put on my Hillsound spikes and kept them on for the remainder of the hike. Heading up the blueberry Ledge Trail, there was a mix of frozen snow, ice, and bare rock. As much as I would have loved to use the televators on my snowshoes on the steeps, the trail was much too boney. The tricky ledges were mostly bare at the start, with sections of frozen snow and ice. Further up, they were mostly covered in frozen snow, making it easier to navigate in spikes. The rollins trail was a frozen monorail all the way to the Dicey Mills Trail junction. And the hike up Passaconaway from the junction was surprisingly easy, given that the steep rock scrambles were covered in a thick layer of hard packed snow with only small patches of ice, easily avoidable. The last two miles following the water crossing on Dicey Mills were slushy over frozen snow. |
