Comments: Tower access road/old "Try Me" ski trail, current ski trails

Terrific place. Skinned up the access road late afternoon after riding for only an hour at the resort - crowds were crazy. But, a few steps away is the little playground of Mt Rowe. Unfortunately, probably was there too late in the day and the frozen granular had already started turning into a luge run at the top - a little hairy "survival" riding. Middle section was very nice snowboarding, provided some nice soft snow for fun turns. Always a fun place to explore. On the descent I cut over to the current ski trails, tho, the dropoff was a little steep onto the beginner terrain. Good skin track, as usual.

Below is a pic of Gunstock from the top of Rowe.
