Though I've hiked the Roan Highlands twice in the fall, I am planning my first winter trip (from Carver's Gap to 19E) for this February. I imagine it varies somewhat based on recent/current weather, but are traction devices like microspikes or Yaktrax likely to be needed/advisable? Is there anywhere besides Guthook where I could get reports on current conditions? Any other tips for winter backpacking in the Roan Highlands? Thanks!
