Eric's Trail

The descent on Eric's trail is in good shape. The access from the entrance by Kids' Stuff is filled with lots of snow. Access the descent by going up Ridgemont Road and taking Eric's Upper Entrance - which really doesn't get ridden except for early season. There will be some snow and mud and steep climbing, but it's short.. Ecoterrorist will be awful so take the road.
