Trails: Blueberry Ledge, Rollins, Dicey's Mill

About 1" of fresh powder down low and increasing with elevation. Micro-spikes until the snow got deeper then to snowshoes for the duration. More snow than I anticipated with lots of drifting.

Ledges weren't too bad. Used Evo ascents up, and my ice ax on the step section just above the first scramble. This is an icy spot and I've had to use my ax here before due to no hand holds.

Rollins fairly well drifted as usual. Thanks to Robert G. and another hiker for breaking the trail ahead of me.

Helped a local near the bottom to clear a large blowdown. No blowdowns or water crossing issues.

Nice sunny day with no wind. Temps this morning -1 and 18 when I finished. I forgot to log in on the first thread so there might be a similar unregisterd thread unless the moderators catch it.
