I arrived at 9 am and the trail was already well packed by some snowshoers who started before me. I did the lower parts of Blueberry Ledge and Dicey's Mill without snoeshoes or traction. However I put the crampons to cross the rocks at the top of Blueberry trail more safely, then I switched to the snoeshoes as there were more drifts. I kept the shoeshoes all way through Rollins trail. I had no time to climb Mt Passaconaway on the way back, I would recommend to start no later than 8 am to do it. It is also most easy to climb Blueberry trail than doing it downhill.
