    I'm legal there, but a 100 yards uphill is skier only. Most people don't go that far, because it is a dead end.

    Thing is, its a seasonal closure. It's actually the major bike route between Aspen and Snowmass for most of the year.
    Much, much higher use where they allow peds, bikes and dogs. The amount of money they spend on a relatively small segment of users, is astounding.

    That's the Owl Creek Trail between Snowmass and Aspen.
    Pitkin County has the largest free Nordic system in NA. It's a really nice system.
    I just think they could open up a bit more of it to pedestrians, bikes and dogs.

    That section they groom with a $200K Piston Bully and it see's maybe 10 skiers a day.



    This section they use a $10K ATV pulling a drag groomer. It will see 200 people/day, mostly skiers or walkers with dogs.

    Probably why Moore Fun is another of my favorites.

    Ha, I saw that- Syd and Macky are definitely legit. It looks like a trail I'd like to try.... once. It also looks way harder than Moore Fun.

    True. Moore Fun is semi-cleanable.
    This? Not so much.

    And yes, they are beasts.

    Wild to be able to ride up at 8k in January. But we finally have a storm in the forecast for this weekend so this is the last chance for a high elevation ride this season. Turned around at 8100 when the snow got a bit too deep and off camber on north facing slopes. Dropped back down and picked up the Santa Ana River Trail. The uppermost 5 miles sees little bike use as it&#39;s often torn up by horses. The trail was obliterated in a few places by storms over the past 2 years. Even the horses haven&#39;t been using it. The middle section is too narrow and exposed for horses and is running well. Below this recently burned in the Line Fire and is closed. Barely made it back to the truck before dark.</p>

    That's cool. They've popped into my YouTube feed for mechanical stuff. That climb looks super fun! I'd run a 30 or maybe even a 28t up front with a 52 for those puchy consecutive ups. That's an extended long version of our EC trails.

    Evdog, I'm surprised there was snow at 8100...I take it you hike a biked up wild horse(rather than dirt road or coming from other side)?

    Yeah, not sure what storm that would have been from. Last one of note I recall was before Thanksgiving. Maybe Big Bear area has had more storms than us though.

    Yup, climbed up the trail so I could check conditions, as I didn't want to climb fire road and then find a bunch of deadfall or snow on the descent. Turned around about half way into the descent to Wildhorse Camp. There had been patches of snow before that, but it got deep enough on the trail to make it unrideable there.

    Turn around point. Blown snow mostly accumulated on the trail.

    When people were obsessing about “Dry January,” I didn’t expect them to be talking about Coastal Oregon trails!



    At least the dry spell was putting the “here” in”hero!”



    Beautiful way to finish the month before the pattern change and return of snow.

    A perfect 72 in the Bahamas.




    I never go on bike trips, but I always try to ride, wherever I go.

    Looks like Tecolote Canyon? If it is, I have a love/hate relationship with that place. I was knocked unconscious riding into a sinkhole that formed during an El Nino winter; and I got the worst case of poison oak ever riding up from San Clemente Canyon.

    Yup, Tecolote! Doing some work lately on the Rim trail that runs along the houses between Lanston, Osler and Wheatstone. Have you ridden those? They are not well known.
