Comments
Comments: Trails were well broken out, though on the Rollins trail, there were segments where the wind was blowing snow drifts that obscured the trail to varying degrees. Some drifts were deep, but there were no significant impediments to making good time. The ledges on Blueberry Ledge trail were very easily managed with an ice axe.
