I was there yesterday starting at noontime. Although it was in the mid-20s, and still primarily frozen, the sun had started to thaw the top 1/4" in areas making it a bit slick so I treaded lightly in those spots. But for the most part it was fine- not really even kicking up where it was slick. A little warmer today but maybe if it is cloudy it will remain frozen.Any info on riding conditions in Hartshorne/Huber? I was there last week before the snow and it was great.
I'm thinking with temps hitting 32 by 8am and sunshine, it's going to get muddy in areas. I think what happened there is the snow melted, the ground is wet, then froze up but the freeze/thaw cycle this week keeps causing muddy conditionsAnyone think it'll be rideable tomorrow? Or too much muck?
So does anyone have a first hand trail report? Did 50+ degrees, sunny and windy work any magic?
Hartshorne is great. Also upper lot bathrooms are open.
That puddle has been there ALL SEASON.. Every single time we rode.Didn't used to be, just saying...
yes. Trails are rideable. You wont leave any ruts..So does anyone have a first hand trail report? Did 50+ degrees, sunny and windy work any magic?
Yeah, I think all the rain in the last year or so has caused it to stay wet there. Seems someone made a little side trail after the bridge as you’re heading up to the upper lot? Also, someone made a cut off of the trail right past there as well- the trail used to go up a short steep push around a tree and now it cuts below it. I’ve seen the same in a few other areas too where it seems someone is trying to take out some hard partsThat puddle has been there ALL SEASON.. Every single time we rode.
I saw a what looked like a gap jump, over the creek, coming down of an unsanctioned trail around that area also. I like doing the hard parts at Hartshorn. And I know that trail around the tree part well, you can go high or low, depending on your mood. Its been there since I started riding Hartshorn again this past summer.Yeah, I think all the rain in the last year or so has caused it to stay wet there.
