Ladies Only very rideable today. I got first tracks through the melting snow. Still snow above the teeter (and LOTS of water at the teeter!).

Is it cedar?

I don't think so. Just near the BP junction.

Was slick as hell when I rode it this afternoon until the 4th. After that it was good. The ponds at the teeter were indeed something to be seen. Not only full, but surely freezing cold! Big stupid was mint!

Leopard to Crinkum Crankam was mint tonight. A bit of snow on the 5th turn and above but it was all climbable. Leopard was slick as….

Zero snow up to Ladies yesterday and I couldn't see any up the road. Ladies was completely snow free as well. Super slick wood up top but in amazing shape and drained really well. Only pooling was in the upper part of the Big Stupid re-route.

Snow starts to be heavy on the road a few 100m's before the 6th SB, but can ride easily in truck tire tracks until around UOC and then it is up to 6" of snow and difficult pedaling to 7th.

But worth it. As 7th was good to go, pretty much clear of snow on the trail after 100m into it, and the snow at the start was an easy pedal.

The trail is running super fast!
Thanks Peter!

Rode Espresso yesterday. All the flat top skinnies had ice. Everything else was good to go. Seemed like all the blow down had helped the trail.

Sweet conditions this morning. Up to Pipeline and there was no snow on the trail- tiny bit on the road at the entrance.

There was one seemingly fresh blow down (8?" diameter live cedar) just below the exit of the newish woodwork near the top. Will require a saw for sure

went up to 7th this morning. Like previously posted snow starts a little before the 6th. I managed to keep pedaling until upper oil can and then had to walk. 7th is riding awesome!!! Nice work on the buffing guys
