ha anyone actually rode this trail during the rain?
Stowe is currently open and their trail surface went from dusty to literally hardpack tacky dirty this week.
Is there are guide line on trail moisture for closure, or do you just close because its raining? Like if the trail surface is hard and not soft is there really any reason to close the trail?

I didn’t really see any jumps or features of any kind. This is another machine built beginner flow trail with good berms and rollers.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
