Date of Hike: March 19th, 2014
Trail Conditions: snow from bottom to top, well packed at the bottom, but breaking trail on fresh snow up high. Blueberry Ledge Trail well broken out, half the group used snow shoes and the other half microspikes lots of blow downs; Rollins Trail had a foot of fresh snow on it, we broke trail so now it is fairly well tracked down, lots of blow downs; Dicey's Mill Trail was not broken out to Passaconaway, it was too late and we were tired enough that we left it for another day. Overall snow depth was 6 to 8 feet. Will be lots of snow for quite a while to come.
Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes needed for breaking trail, the Ledges were fairly easy with snowshoes. Never used crampons or ice axe.
Comments: - Nice day with light snow falling. More like mid winter conditions (high of around 10 at the summit) than early spring. Rt 113 had really bad frost heaves, don't try to take it too fast.
