Worst case scenario you can head there and do fire road only.

You might think so, but without studded tires you'd probably be wrong. I haven't been recently, so that's just a guess. I had the same thought about Wildcat this morning.

Maybe. It's gonna be an ice luge tomorrow morning though.

my buddy hasnt been there yet, so i dont want to take him up and ruin the place for him (bad first experience kinda thing) so if its gonna be too sketchy ill find someplace else (or try to)

Was hoping to hit up some fireroads today, but it's all a sheet of ice. Any visible trails off the road were also a sheet of ice. Bring your ice skates!

Anybody hit any of the singletrack lately near lot c? Everything just ice, or is there some spots worth riding? Got an unexpected afternoon off.

Based on this report from yesterday,
I would not be optimistic

Went out snowshoeing up to Ilgenstein rock from the school lot on Monday so report is a few days old but there was safely 6-8” of snow with deeprt drift spots throughout in the more open areas.

By late afternoon snowmobiles got into the fire roads and packed it down but trails were still fully covered. You may luck out and get really firm snowpack from the melt on Monday afternoon and deep freeze we’ve had this week but wouldn’t go there anticipating much. Look out for the postholes on the well traveled areas!

Rode from ryerson over red to skylands, past pipeline to Sheppard’s pond and then over to the NY border. Was muddy at the entrance by Ryerson. Red to Skylands, to pipeline to Sheppard’s and out to NY, all in very good shape when the ground is cold.

Rode ringwood on Friday. Conditions were mint. Be careful on cats nest (renegade). Big trees own on the long fast downhill.

I was out there Saturday morning, conditions were fine. The Skylands Trail was perfect. The White Trail had a few soft spots however. On that short climb at the end of white heading up to warm puppy, there's a large tree down..... I think it just drizzled sporadically on Sunday, so I don't think it should be an issue.......

Ringwood at large is real nice. The white crossover from warm puppy to weble pond still has some very wet/muddy/sloppy sections. I would steer clear of white from warm puppy to weble, all else is good to go.

Rode it today, whole place is ready to go.

conditions were absolutely horrible

in this one spot. so don't use it to judge the rest of the park, which was nice and dry, even
while it was sleeting. light rain started around noon.

Bridge on the cat 1 route (maybe mile 8ish?) is not race ready...one side has collapsed.

That's probably the small bridge just before Cat's Nest. It's been like that for at least a year now.
