Go forth and ride, then bring back pics

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.

The quality of that grooming has this nordork salivating, where that?

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.

Looks a lot like Moore Fun in Fruita.

That's actually a great comparison. Both are super tech and chunky, up and down. Moore Fun is a little cleaner and well kept - similar tech but less jank.
Probably why Moore Fun is another of my favorites.

Video of my neighbors, who are far better than I, doing this trail:

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.
