Comments
Comments: Mt. Rowe Trail was fairly well packed down low. Yellow Trail was not as well packed, with some tracks meandering off trail. Ridge Trail has seen some consolidation from skier traffic.

Snow softened and became sticky in places with today's humidity and slightly above freezing temperatures. Snowshoes were the way to go. Cloudy with temperatures in the mid 30s.
