2010 Wasatch Area Trail Conditions and other Crap Thread
Any interest in a thread like this?
I'll start:
Glenwild is supreme titso fly-paper tacky, minmal puddles. Got turned around on Cobblestone heading counter-clockwise where it crosses the road, before the lollipop loop part. There was a closed sign. Other than that pure buffness.
Whats the word on the new Draper trails?

Draper:
Maple Hallow is in great shape right now. Those new jumps at the bottom flow really well.
Clarks: Was in really good shape, but then people rode it while it was still muddy and I think it might be pretty rough.
Brooks to Canyon Hallow to Ghost Falls: Great shape, trails are tacky and no break jack ruts yet. I just wish they had burms on some of those turns.
That is all I know about the Draper trails right now. I might try to get a ride in tomorrow moring and will report more then.Thanks Shane

The one good thing is that Draper City is very responsive to user feedback. I think if they knew that is what people want they would do it. I guess I could quit complaining on the internet and try to actually talk to them. Originally Posted by dfinn

Glenwild Free-ride trails dry with few puddles. Rode stealth clockwise after and encountered few puddles with dry conditions.

Rode the "flow" trail from the top of Clarks trail in Draper. Very little flow and it's rutted up pretty good from people riding it sooner than they should've.

1" snow overnight in Park City. No riding for a few days.

Rode the spiderweb of trails that is Lambert Park yesterday. Everything was in great shape. The Rodeo trail is especially awesome, sort of like a mini Kesslers Run. I've been down there maybe 5 times in the last 4 or so years and still have no idea where I am half the time, there's so many intersections. Lots of fun though

Not exactly. Sun came out and the snow was melted by about 10am. I just rode round valley and other than a couple puddles it was perfect aside from the wind. Nice and tacky. I imagine Bob's basin is the same. Originally Posted by schindlerpiste

^^^ I hope that you didn't tear up the trail....mang. I'd imagine that it is pretty muddy.

I think we could get that thing up Bobsled and fix the car gaps and other jumps nicely. Originally Posted by Trackhead

Fellow mountain bikers??? You've got me all wrong, I'm an equestrian. I just installed an adjustable saddle so Patches and I were shredding down Rambler right after the precip. That's the best time to go. It's probably a little too muddy for mountain bikes though. Originally Posted by bagtagley

Rode from the Zoo up Dry Creek yesterday, trails were in great shape except for a couple puddles up until you hit the left hander before Olympic Hill. I turned around at this point, looks like others had forged ahead rutting the shit out of the trail.

Bob's basin was primo today. Started from the jeremy ranch trailhead. Did a lap on dropout and ant farm. Only a few small puddles.
