Route: Ledges Trail

Lower half of the ledges trail was well packed and could support bareboots. A little bit of blue ice near the first set of ledges. Maybe a foot of snow.

Upper half of the trail was softening up later in the morning, so snowshoes would be a good idea. Maybe 1.5 feet of snowpack.
