 reporter Very snow-covered in the shade, melt freeze in the sun. Some dry sections, enough to keep you moving between mud, but honestly, the best move it...

 reporter Snow covered. Possible that some spots may dry up before full on winter but most likely won't melt until next spring.

      Punchline has a rocky steep drop of 20 feet that is technical.

      Great system if you don’t feel like riding up to Ketchum area.

      Only one of the trails has some technical on it. The rest is flow and fun.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
