Excellent snow today at Lew Mo.
Very little ice. All trails had good consistent coverage. Snow well packed. That Sidewinder trail was tits!
Maybe didn't need studs, but fatness for sure. Could probably go MTB if you're into it, but sketchy AF.
I rode Lew Mo yesterday before sunset. @Sven Migot’s assessment was spot on. The center tread of most trails had a mix of light snow on ice, and traction was “ok” with fattie tires (no studs ). But there was plenty of soft stuff to the left and right of the centerline to ride and avoid slipping. I think today will be the last good day there until we get another freeze or snow. Tomorrow through the weekend is going to be messy.I rode Patriots Path from Mendham and LM on an XC bike, LM was good for the most part on XC just took it slow and picked good lines, Patriots Path was pretty icey and I wished I had fat tires.
