How’s ringwood with the snow? Rideable?

Was able to get out for a quick ride today. For the most part only fire roads were accessible where 4 wheel drive and snowmobiles have ridden. Lower roads were more pack down and easily rideable. As I headed higher up, there was less vehicle activity so conditions were softer and more difficult. Temps were coming up too. The green trail after Pierson's and the pipeline had only a bit of snowmobile activity. Hike a bike in deep snow by the new white and Weyble pond.

Fire roads are 90% rideable on Saturday (3/17). More packed down than last week and some icy / bare spots. Where there was less snowmobile activity and warmer temps snow softened making it a little harder. Get out early before it gets too warm for a decent ride. Did not see any rideable single track.

I live in Ringwood, I would say getting close, but not there yet. East and south facing ground is showing through. North and west facing is still fully covered. Up high, the snow is still deep. Depending on the trail, this weekend is a possibility. See the post on Sterling from yesterday.

Bummer! Hopefully it will be good to go soon. Need to see what Ringwood is like! I have the race coming up on the 15th and have never ridden there.

My wife went for a hike in the rain this AM, said there was still some snow, but melting fast. She didn’t get up high into the mountain, but it is starting to open up. Will be wet. Depending on rain, this weekend may work.

Ringwood still has snow on north facing slopes and higher up in the trails. Skylands Trail was 98 percent rideable this morning, lots of large trees fell and block the trail. I would bet the trail that connects Ringwood to Sterling is in good shape. Sterling still has snow and will need more time.

Posted this in the H2H thread but thought Id put it here as well...
"Regarding Ringwood... the race route has quite a bit of trees down. What is the etiquette for clearing them? Im talking ones that obviously aren't built into features. Leave it to the race organizers? Or can I do a little trimming and removing on a ride? Thought I'd ask before doing something uncouth."

conditions were all over the place today (ride started out with snow falling and on the ground), fireroads are wet, under water even in some spots, the singletrack that we hit was good.
