>We have a couple of storms going on in the next few days

Is that snow unlikely to melt in the following week of sun and ~40°?

Yes. It'll still be here. Plus the trails have been packed down all winter... Which means they are likely dense packed snow and ice that'll be there until may.

Our trails are in the woods and aren't in direct sun. Then we have our mud season. Then mtb carefree in about June.

Gotcha, that snowpack is just what I was wondering about. Thanks!

You should bring glove warmers.

Like the oxide heating packs? Why? It's going to be so warm.
