Blue_Marsh	50%	25%	Tue 6 PM, Dec 22	tduro	4-5" of snow, I'd guess. A bit much for MTB, but not quite enough for XC. I did a little XC on grassy areas and it was OK, but I'm afraid I'd be scraping dirt and rocks on the trails. It might be passable on MTB, but it'll be a workout for sure.	Weather	UPD

Keystone	75%	0%	Mon 10 PM, Dec 28	LarryM	Trails free of snow...firmness depends on the temps. Should stay off the steep climbs when its soft. Oh...that would be most of the trails...	Weather	UPD
MTOP-DeadDeer	100%	0%	Tue 9 PM, May 11	JeffSkisM	Work is complete on repairing and re-routing the logging damage. MiddleFinger, Dead Deer Extreme, Dead Deer, Hell Trail, NoWhere, and RollerCoaster Say Wut?! are in great shape. Killer Bee is clear although it is still pretty soft and should be ridden with caution especially the first 75yards on the steep drop in and on the middle section where the major re-route starts. The beginning of Hell Trail has been changed. No word on SlayLine and Smashing Plates.	Weather	UPD
MTOP-EastOf437	100%	0%	Tue 9 PM, May 11	JeffSkisM	Whip O Will, Snowmobile, The End, Twin Spring(not to be confused with 2 Spring), Little Arbutus, Tattoo Alley, LPT, Extension, Extension of the Extension, and FIreLine are in great shape. TRails between Tunnel Hill Road and 437 are OK. Summit View 1 & 2 and Stoney Cabin Ridge have dried out. Summit View 3 & 4(sometimes referred to as Tributary) are soft in a couple spots. Snappers 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 have been cleaned up of 98% of the deadfall. The Bridge on Snapper 1 is gone, a new ro	Weather	UPD

Weather	UPD
Moon_Lake	100%	0%	Sun 9 PM, Apr 18	JeffSkisM	Excellent Shape! It is starting to turn GREEN finally! Lots of MayApples popping up along the ground.

French_Creek	0%	75%	Wed 6 PM, Dec 23	tduro	I did some XC skiing there this afternoon. Access roads, fields, and the like were nice. Trails with rocks were not good. I put some considerable wear and tear on my skis in only a few miles. I only saw one set of MTB tracks. They were in a no MTB area, and really wrecked the trail for XC skiing. Fortunately the douche bag only made it a 1/2 mile or so, so damage was limited.	Weather	UPD
