Ringwood State Park Conditions

[V-Dub]

good snow stuff currently

The first sloped ice ring, also known as Ringwood State Park parking lot C, has opened for business. Nothing appears to be even hikeable, let alone rideable…

the weather this week looks good for some thaw. My back yard is receding quickly. Shadowed areas, not as fast.

Was that taken as you slipped and fell onto your side?

Nope, but that would be a very realist scenario. Same goes for our backyard, also on a slope. Great fun when taking the dog out for her potty duties...

Rode there yesterday with studded tires. Super fun but is like 99% of trails covered with ice.

open for business. Get it before the snow

Rode earlier today was excellent.
Hiked with my dogs at 4pm, was a muddy mess. I would not recommend it unless the weather cools off a bit.

Perfect icebiking conditions today. ~2” of snow, frozen hard. Like a frozen highway in most spots. Studs needed for the best experience. Some of the crew today didn’t have them but did pretty well other than the pitchiest sections. A few spills here and there but a great time. Started to soften in the sunny spots by around mid day. Good riding with you @JimN !

Good riding with you @JimN !

Likewise! Studs would surely have been better, but it was still a good time. Thanks for letting us tag along!

Big tree down on new yellow switchback, coming down from Cooper Union. A few trees down on Red, coming down from Cannonball.

Does Ringwood drain well? Looking to check it out for the first time on Sunday. Should I be worried about rain on Thursday?

South of Ryerson usually drains better(Erskine, 6 bridges, Ringwood-Ramapo, etc.). I haven’t been out there for ages though, do not sure of current conditions.

Any new update on current conditions?

I was in the park for trail maintenance today, it was dump but not muddy. Then it rained a little. If you stay in the areas that I mentioned (Ryerson, 6 bridges, cat nest/renegade, pierson, crossover etc.) it should be OK if there isn't any further precipitation). Sorry I did not post any info on TM for today but I wasn't aware until this morning. Activity on the reroute of ringwood-ramapo at ryerson shold resume soon, everybody is welcome to join in as soon the dates are posted.
