you should probably go ride ampm, finished a little re-route near the bottom, gone is the weird left hander around the tree to old road bed to awkward uphill, replaced with a nice contoured, roller filled section

Thanks for the maintenance Flip, has anyone ventured higher up the microwave climb, I am guessing Business Time and Tunnel Vision still have too much snow?

I walked the dogs down Farside this morning to the sign that says 1.15 k to suspension bridge. Just past that snow on the trail was starting become more consistent. So no way for IBT or Tunnel Vision just yet.

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

pushed up to the bench on ibt last night, it's still pretty snowy, farside to the suspension bridge is mixed conditions, but ridable for the most part, riverside looked pretty snowy so I just rode back down farside. south flank switchbacks to lower peas is a nice quick add on to a ride too.

danimal north and lower beaver pass are rideable with some snow/ice patches, RRTI and rebob are not ready, zappas are also good now without any snow of consequence

This new bike is really helping keep the trail updates up to the minute. Whistler is getting close.

hahah, totally….someone hacked out all the ice on lower tunnel vision too, that I noticed on the morning dog walk, however! Probably going to get in there later today and tweak a few berms that have needed some love for a while.

+1 on the Zappas being good to go. Some snow here and there but fully rideable.

There was some ice and snow on the descent in CYB on the weekend, rideable, but keep your head up if you are going fast.

IBT via upper AMPM is really good right now, totally clear and rideable! unsure on upper section, friend was up there two days ago and knee deep at DMacs photo on the rock…

South facing emerald trails are clear, but you'll hit some snow patches on northy sections. Usual access up shit happens is well buried still.
Sea-to-sky trail mostly clear.

nice, apparently IBT is totally clear except for the bit on the rock at dmacs memorial spot.

careful on lower sproatt, danimal south, thc, moose knuckles…..the surly land owner who's PO'd about not getting extra development rights for their shitty piece of undevelopable property has made it known that they will be fencing off the trails and actively charging trail users with trespassing should they be caught on those trails....ID/PV/Baby Snakes to middle danimal is just above the private property however….
