Friday Trails Report:
We’ll roll straight to it. The cliff-notes for the tread are please avoid! It’s looking like more of a book and a blanket type weekend than a wheels and heels. I know we were all starting to get that early dry out excitement, but NOAA has rain forecasted through Monday. Practice that inner Zen of patience until mid to late next week for any dirt related activities.
That being said ~ construction is back on track in the bike park with the big enhancements to Bamm Bamm. We’re hoping to have it reopened about mid to late May.
~Glenwild’s water line receded a little bit this last week. After the storm fully passes Bob’s Basin DH trails will be good to go! We recommend accessing them from Spring Creek and riding back along Rasmussen Rd trail. 24-7 between the top of Fink Again and Ant Farm is grease lightning. Anything above lower Cobblestone on the east and the bottom of Preserve Connector on the west are still mud / snow mix. So you guessed it… Flying Dog is still not ready to soar quite yet!
~Other usual suspects still on mud / snow hold include RTS, Discovery Ridge, and Summit Park.
Have a cozy weekend ya’ll!

We’re excited to have finished wrapping up all the snow gear and spent some time on the asphalt and dirt the last two weeks. The team has been hard at work plowing away remaining snow drifts and blowing debris from the commuter trails. We’ve also been tuning up the bike park at Trailside and getting eyes on the lower elevation trails that everyone is eagerly waiting to adventure.
-Trailside Bike Park is all systems ago! (mostly) And being opened this morning. Respect the two closures at the top. Great Gazoo still has a significant amount of mud on the lower turns, and Bamm Bamm will remain under construction for the next month.
-The Trailside East singletrack, Saved By The Bell and Sloppy Joe are clear and in great condition.
-Glenwild is in its early days. Blackhawk and Stealth are safe to loop with only a few puddles and small snow patches. Bobs Basin and all of the backside remain a snow mud mix
-RTS is a sloppy mess! Please avoid.
Happy trails out there
