Blue_Marsh50% 25% Tue 6 PM, Dec 22tduro4-5" 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. WeatherUPD

Keystone75% 0% Mon 10 PM, Dec 28LarryMTrails 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... WeatherUPD
MTOP-DeadDeer50% 0% Tue 8 PM, Dec 29JeffSkisMExtensive logging has been going on all summer and fall..major obstructions(tops) on MiddleFinger and Dead Deer... Killer Bee looks to be a total wreck. No word on Hell Trail, NoWhere, Smashing Plates, and RollerCoaster Say Wut. Time to Clear trail... WeatherUPD
MTOP-EastOf43775% 25% Sat 5 PM, Feb 6JeffSkisM10 days of cold weather have nicely frozen everything! Last nights snow blanketed the trails with about 1 to 1.5 inches over a .25 inch base of old frozen granular. The "End", "TwinSpring", "Snowmobile", "Old Miss", "Summit View", "Tributary" aka Summit View 2, "Little Arbutus", and "Tatto ALley" are all very rideable. "Snowmobile" from the Fountain Lake outflow stream up to the gas lines is a frozen ice fall....but rideable! WeatherUPD

Moon_Lake100% 0% Sat 4 PM, Jan 23JeffSkisM1/23/10 Really Great Shape! No Snow and little Ice. Best to ride mornings before it southern exposures thaws. Rode Big Blue, Natures Way, Deacon Trials area, T Rex 1 & 2, NFS(, Skinny, "8", the new Ledgeview,Screamer, Sqeezer, The Dark, Buddys and a few others. The new Ledgeview is a great addition and can easily be made into a figure eight ride by including "8" with it, good in both directions!WeatherUPD

French_Creek0% 75% Wed 6 PM, Dec 23tduroI 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. WeatherUPD
