      These trails were recently cleaned-up and are good to ride again! Whoever did the trail maintenance (the resort?) make routes around or over the blown-down trees. Really love this black diamond trail section... loamy, twisty, and fast! Worth riding if you're staying at or near the resort and don't want to spend several hours trekking through the GW Nat'l Forest/Lake Sherando.

      The resort is no longer taking care of these trails. Bummer. Several trees down in critical spots and overgrown trails crisscrossing the ski slopes.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
