    Mostly dry or damp with a couple wet spots, as close to ideal as you could ask for considering the time of year

    Is surprisingly rideable considering it’s January, would not recommend if it is wet, but still a viable option if you want to ride to the top of the mountain and link with PA & Difibulator

    Trail is currently open but the climb out has been partially turned into a new fire road. Despite 0 communications from NTCA or NWTA, it appears that this trail along with toads and sticky buns are going to be getting clear cut very soon. My advice is that if you like these trails ride them soon before we lose them!
