It's the quality not the quantity.
Seriously though a heavy wet 12 inch blast of snow would be a great help to the tracks. Any less or anything with low water content won't do much.
The tracks from Weirs to Ashland were tough and a bit unnerving. Lots of rails exposed. We rode them without incident but we all had sore backs, necks and butts.
I bounced off a rail once or twice and we were taking it pretty easy. I saw a couple of guys blast past us and they were moving. I just don't get that kind of risk taking on the rails in those conditions. One wrong move and it could have been trouble for those guys.
