I can only imagine what damage was done by the snow and ice we had yesterday.

Not good. Not horrible, but not good. Of the trails I went on, Ghost was probably the worst. One very large blockage and a whole bunch of other stuff that can be fixed with a hand saw and a couple of minutes at each spot. Cascade was actually pretty good overall, but has another blockage near where those two huge trees fell by the stream a year or two ago (WTF?). Four Birds did not look good at either end. Stone Gate not bad, but needs a little work. The single track loops by Weldon Rd. aren't bad. Most of the fire roads have blockages in places.

Helped where I could

other than that surprisingly dry

Nice work- I'm assuming that large blockage on ghost is still there?

Yes I cleared alot of the small branches so someone with bigger equipment could just walk in and get cutting. It's for someone who knows what they're doing once you cut the weight the thing is going to roll or spring.

I reported the huge one on stone gate to the parks commission. Who know's if they'll do anything.

I cleared the section right before the waterfall climb. Blue DH needs some work though.

I cut down hill touching the switchback before and went around the tree, if they take a while I'll bring some winches and saw and do what I can but don't promise anything

Id be willing to lend a hand if you want to go up there on a “covert mission” to get it out.

You just blew out cover lol

If you guys ride e-bikes in to do this under the cover of darkness, you can call it a "Nocturnal E-mission."

if they go before sun up, it might be Early Morning Woods

I been meaning to get up there to check it out, but not anytime soon based on the latest proposed mission names.

Howz about "no blood on Tiger Blood" ? I'd go for that.

I found a very beatup Bontrager trip 100 cycling computer on Black Magic yesterday. It'll be in my car until someone claims it or I clean my car.
