thought I would repost this trail report submitted today.
Expresso:
Skinny to rock roll didn't survive the winter. Otherwise trail is draining nicely with the exception of a couple bogged up spots. Slick and fun last night.

Hopefully that TTF is fixed.
It's snowing at the second gate.
Puking snow on Fromme down to the water towers tonight.
Not what I was hoping for…
Rode/pushed Peugeout to Executioner. Under canopy is about 1 inch at top. Road has about 3-4 inches.
Here's looking down road at Executioner trailhead…
And here is looking into Executioner at trailhead…
Trail conditions are actualy pretty good. Not sure I'd recommend riding the road all the way up.
Big tree still down on Crippler, about 1/2 way, will need a chainsaw, I am happy to come help if someone with a saw is up for a hike. There are still a number of smaller trees across the top half trail as well, but they are small enough for a hand saw, which sadly i did not pack today…
snow from about the 4th SB up, but melting fast.
The upper 1/3 of Executioner is a mess, best to avoid until things have dried out.
Late afternoon the road was clear to Ladies, trail was in good shape with just a few puddles.
Cheers Ben

Am I allowed to just trample up there with my chainsaw? Or do I need permits and such? I live at the base of crippler, can do this after work no problem. Would appreciate the help/company
Sweet thanks, that is most likely it! Hopefully it stays there for a little while! Rode that lap Sunday evening.
Anyone else have any reports on the blue glove? I don't imagine why anyone would take one glove.
Rode Expresso on Sunday and it was in fantastic condition. Besides the slippery entrance. The distant sounds of Digger blasting Lady Gaga was also a treat too :) That's some kind of fine work on that trail as well as the exit out of the Baden Powell to Fromme!

I have permits for Fromme. I can meet with you this weekend to clear the above problems.
Send me a message with details.

I dunno. Is Michael Jackson still dead?
Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.
Hi, apologies if this question is in the wrong thread but was riding Floppy Bunny on Sunday and spotted a new trail under construction to the the right coming off Bobsled. Trail looks incredible - any ideas when we get to ride it? names?
Thanks to all the trail builders out there.
All of Crippler and Grannies is clear of blow down.
Thanks guys for all the hard work today. Lots of blow down they helped remove.
