Comments
Comments: There was a new inch of powder on the Dicey's Mill Tr. This trail was very firm. We used microspikes to the top of Passaconaway. We used snowshoes on Rollins and Blueberry Ledge.

Rollins trail had about 8 inches of new snow. The trail has 3 to 4 feet of deep snow and is not well packed. Snowshoes is the best option for this trail. Rollins and the upper portion of Blueberrry are broken out, but they have alot of postholes. Lower portion of Blueberry Ledge has minimal snow with some icy spot. We used our snowshoes on the upper ledge portion, but some may pefer cramptons for better traction. Nice day out with Jim C. My last winter hike for the year. Weather was great.
