All the roads leading to Ferncroft had huge frost heaves. Once on the dirt road early in the morning, the ice rails made fromcar tracks were tough when frozen solid. Lots of ice leading to parking area. |

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Only water crossing at the bottom of Dicey Mills was not flowing heavily and easy to cross in snowshoes, just 20 south of the log. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
someone had used a saw to trim fresh greens off trees because the snow pack is so high and left them right in the trail. I was not impressed with both the trimming and just dropping them on the trail. Learn to deal with all elements of nature or stay home. |

Blueberry Ledge Trail: A solid highway to South Summit. The ledges were completely filled in with snow. #awesome. Used Hillsounds
Rollins Ridge Trail: Pretty consolidated but I switched to snowshoes so not to sink in to far into the fresh snow. Once descending towards Passaconaway, at around 3300ft, the trail goes in several directions. Just stay to the right. I had to learn that on my own.:)
Ascending Passaconaway, The trail is completely snow covered right now. Really great shape.
Descending down Dicey Mills was fast beacuse the trail is so punched out and level. Once I got across the stream I swithched to hillsounds to the truck.
