Too late. South trails done, north trails thawing.
If you're not on the south-facing trails yet, head to the north facing trials instead. South facing trails are already thawing out.
Expecting trails to close around 10 a.m. this morning.
Trails closed. Come back Saturday - start early to beat the thaw.
South facing trails getting soft in the sun. Please get off the trails when the begin to thaw.
Only ride when the ground is frozen please.
The snow is insulating the wet ground underneath.
Closed. Help out at the work day near the campground if you can...
Heading in the wrong direction. If you're not out here yet, stay home or hit Waterfall Glen.
Really short window of opportunity. South facing trails will be a no-go by about 8 a.m. with north-facing trails not far behind. Expect lots of ice.
If riding Saturday, plan to start at sunrise and be done by about 8 a.m.
Trails should be good until about 9:30-10 Friday morning.
Full sun, not good for frozen dirt trails... Come back EARLY Saturday.
Watch for ice
Needs to freeze again before it'll be rideable.
Go, fat bikes, go!
Reports of melting. Need to wait for the next freeze...
Snow time. Get your fatties out there and groom it for the rest of us. Please and thank you.
