Barnes East

<p>Heavy wet snow while we rode all afternoon, was still snowing when we left. We rode in the trees because of visibility. The snow was wet snow on top with a crust, once you broke through the crust it was sugar wet snow. Riding was ok, trail in was rough! When we left there was about 4" of fresh snow on the trail above 6000 feet. we stayed away from any riding where the heavy wet snow was loaded, there was evidence that snow had come down in some areas. </p>
