Great conditions yesterday. There is a tree down on the red switchbacks. It might be the same that @Zack 54 reported as I did not see any others.

Got out for a quick one this morning before the weather turns. It was decent for normal tires but i've had better snow conditions there before. We'll see what the rest of this winter holds. Should go without saying but stay away for the next week at least with the big melt coming.

Anyone been out the last few days?

There was a fair amount of hidden ice under a dusting of snow on Thursday. Great conditions for studs.

I ended up going out, all the heavy traveled trail frozen footprints were quite annoying and overall pretty icey but rideable. Wouldn’t recommend for beginners. Hopefully the 50’s and rain this week will melt it all.

Any current condition updates?

18-24" wide hard packed groves on most trails. Great conditions for a fat bike.

How about orange mid mountain loop?

Tourne has some decent trails but the previously packed sections on western-facing slopes have accumulated significant wind drifts that render them impassable. Recommend staying on the trails in the valley between the two ridges, in other words the trails in the middle of the park.

Any updates on trail conditions/rideability? Might be able to squeeze in a ride after an appointment in the area tmrw. Worse case scenario, I’ll bring the snow shoes as a back-up plan.

I'd guess snow shoes until the weekend

There was very little foot traffic as of yesterday morning. I'll be skiing there later this morning if I can get there before it warms up too much and can update, but I doubt it's changed much yet.

Got about an hour hike in late this afternoon, trampled paths are developing. I did not bother with snow shoes since it was late and I had my daughter’s doggie. I believe it would be rideable tmrw, some spots better than others as to be expected. Give it a shot and post up your results.

This morning the snow was 8/10. Paths were pretty narrow but it was rideable with regular tires if you can stay in the tire tracks. Might be good tomorrow before it turns to slush.
