This morning we were getting light rain/drizzle. It has just started to show signs of turning to snow with some flakes mixing in. We will post new updates after we see what today’s weather brings us and we get a chance to get out and check the trails. Thanks for your patience, we all want to be out riding and hope this season gets going soon!

Another great weekend of riding! Might have been one of the best – locally at least. So much snow up in the higher terrain.

Keep an eye on our site and Vast map as things will likely change fast. We expect we’ll need to close the valley trails soon. Lots of bare spots already and with temps warming up later this week, any snow that is left isn’t likely to last long. Riding should remain decent up high though as there is a ton of snow!

Got out to ride some of our trails and Chittenden today. The bad news is that our best riding has come and now gone. The good news is that there is still good riding. I stuck to the Michigan area today (National forest trails on our side of Carmel and Bloodroot) and the trails have a solid base still. There’s more ice and there are some bare spots but overall the conditions we’re quite good. Soft down lower but hard up higher. Once things are groomed, they should be good. Chittenden was more of the same with a few more bare spots and really hard packed. Enjoy it while you can!

Riding is not recommended at this time given the warm weather and rain. Wait until we get back to some colder temps tomorrow. We also need to get out grooming and we will be doing that as soon as cold temps return tomorrow evening. Best riding this weekend will be Sunday.

When you do venture out, please use caution as this warm up has caused a lot of melting and we had areas that got washed out back with the rain in January and they could be impacted again. If you come across any hazards or poor sections of trail, please inform us so we can update the map.

Our trails are great right now! All our trails North of town we’re groomed tonight. We’ll get everything else groomed over the next couple of days as well. Most sections have plenty of snow and are in great shape. Some sections still have some wet spots, but there aren’t a lot. Even the trail by the Wall at Riverside is greatly improved after we filled in what we could with snow and pulled a drag over it. Get out and enjoy some riding!
