The early October snow is slowly melting. It is gone from the most sun exposed trails, but remains in shaded areas. Cold overnight temperatures means that there is frozen mud, ice and snow covered ground in the morning and it becomes soft, slushy or muddy in the afternoon. Travel on most trails is difficult, especially on bikes, but the busier trails have seen enough traffic to be good for fat-biking. Winter activities like snowshoeing and hiking are your best options for now. This will change rapidly, as the temperatures warm up during the week.
Winter Trails: The early October snow has settled to 5-15cm, with snow free areas appearing in sun exposed areas. If there is an overnight freeze, the snow/ice is firm in the morning. But melting starts by mid-day and the trails are susceptible to damage when they become soft and muddy.
