      		 It's pretty good! A couple of down trees still, thanks to folks getting it set up. Bring bug spray! We didn't encounter mud except at creek crossings.

      		 Some snow patches and down trees to hop over, but the trail is otherwise rideable

      		 It was a little too soft from about halfway or 2/3 to Powderhorn Lift 1. We had to turn around. Got really hard to get going when you fell off.
