Pipeline is ok, no super-icy or snowy sections. Trail will probably be completely snow free by tomorrow. Road was fine getting up too. Tire tracks are bare.

you can ride quite far at least to ladies on the car tracks. Top of ladies its a bit slick but gets better. Ate it pretty good on the bigger wooden roller at the top.

Rode fromme Thurs night.
Up to bobsled is ok on the road. After that it is a combo of pushing and riding depending upon your motivation. Snow is fairly heavy. Not the light stuff.
Went into Ladies at the fourth sb. Not too much snow overall on the trail. But it has rained on top of the snow so the trail is frozen in a thin coat of ice. This makes all the woodwork treacherous. I nearly fell in the pond walking my bike over. I also had to walk around all ladder sections as they were too slippery to even stand on.
Once at the top of Skull things get better. Lower skull was in good condition.

Today pedalled to 5, then pushed/pedalled to Pipeline. Everything was pretty thawed so no problems on the trail.

How you do on the big wooden roller at the top often dictates what kind of ride you're gonna have.

Rode upper part of grannies, upper cripper and lower crippler today - fantastic fun in the snow! Maybe 3" on the trails themselves - the road up is a bit of a slog but mostly ridable up to the 5th switchback.

Got up to pipeline today. The road is good to go up until somewhere around the 4th switchback. Pipeline was icy, snowy and slushy at the top, but cleared up not far after the teeter near the beginning.

This is the spot just above the rock roller:

It's not 2011 anymore so why is the thread still titled "Fromme 2011"? Someone should change that.
Sorry, but it's been bothering me for awhile. That's all.
