      Rode up the tie towards Flagline. Too many patches of snow to count and 6 small trees across the trail. Trail was more than 1/3 unriddeable from the snow and downed trees. More water and mud than dry. I'd say it's over till next year unless that's what you're looking for.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
