Comments
Comments: Great day for these peaks. Trails were well broken and solid with anywhere from 1/2 inch to 6 " of unconsolated powder on top.Hillsounds were all that was needed until 3600 ft and switched to snowshoes for duration of hike until shortly after water crossing on Diceys Mill Trail. Rollins trail while broken out was lightly tilled in addition to up to approx 3ft drifts in spots. Certain spots along the bowl the trail wasn't always obvious with drifting over my knees in spots After DM intersection a nice snowshoe track continued to the summit of Passaconaway. I met 5 other hikers today enjoying this day.
