mtb I think most of this section has been cleared this year. We hiked from Schurchs tunnel to the Leadville cutoff today and clear about 25 downfall. There is an area, about a mile long just north of Schurchs tunnel that still has about 20 logs that can be easily stepped over. The 2 miles north of Champion Pass is clear as of 5 August. The middle area from Blizzard Hill to Schurchs Tunnel where most of it is clearings I don't think it has been cleared. Variableview

mtb Trail is now almost completely clear (about 20 trees later) and riding awesome.
There are still a few large trees down that we couldn't get with a hand saw but they're in visible locations. We left some smaller trees down in two locations - one where a re-route had already been established, and another in a slow speed spot where it didn't interrupt the ride down.

mtb So much deadfall from Lowlands all the way to Cottonwood Lake up north. We would easily have turned back, but our camping site and gear were transported to Thunderbolt TH and there was no bail out. We literally lifted our bikes over a hundred or more deadfallen trees. Some deadfall was so major that in order to get back on the trail, we had to go up above the trail or below the trail in dense trees and find our way back to the trail. Do not recommend riding this are until trees are cleared. Variableview
