Afan and cwm carn conditions?

barnyb

Anyone ridden any of these routes recently?
Just wondered if theres any snow or ice to content with. and maybe a few opinions on tyre choice for my hardtail.
Ive only ever ridden these in the dry???

Afan conditions were pretty good today, trails mostly holding up really well.

Bit wet and muddy but pretty decent.
