Jeff Moser updated conditions in Ash Canyon on his blog, bikecarson.com, this week:
"Daytime temperatures in the 50s have turned the snowy hillside of Carson's west side into a sloppy mess. If it's not slushy, it's muddy.
An attempted ride up there yesterday (Monday) resulted in a lot of walking, and mostly just to get the hell out of there!
There is still quite a bit of snow and slush, so it's like a time-release SUCK capsule. It will mostly likely be like this for days."
