as per previous reports Diceys Mill well tracked out from yesterday..spikes or snowshoes adequate..easy going to Passaconaway with very little ice. Gorgeous views today.
Rollins Trail well tracked out with some blue ice in places.We opted to skip the ledges and came back across Rollins from Whiteface. Very cold along the ridge with a light but biting wind. While snowshoes might provide a smoother walk in places where the snow is a little softer and therefore gets a bit choppy the vast majority of these trails were hard packed today and spikes were the perfect choice. Fast track for sure.
Not many folks out on the trails today though the excellent views and fine trail conditions made this a great day out with Valerie |
