Having no idea of typical snow conditions in that part of the country, does anyone know what is "typical" of BB trail conditions in mid-January? My wife and I are going on a huge roadtrip in January to try to climb as many state highpoints in the SE USA as possible (incl. AR, LA, MS, AL, FL, maybe SC), most are much lower than Brasstown Bald and should be no problem, but if we can also get to BB that would be a bonus.
Of course, conditions vary wildly and change rapidly, but just curious as to what is typical; not at all concerned about cold/wind, just snowpack on the trail. We also realize there are numerous routes, we'd probably prefer a longer one, but no biggie, whatever trail that is doable is fine.
Thanks in advance for any info!
