With the long, cool, dry spell, and the unreal lack of snow in mid January, I chose to make a Tiger ride today and was not disappointed. I haven't been here in two years! It was a beautiful day above the fog and the trail conditions were near perfect! Maybe a little gravel in spots, and almost Summer dry, but the foggy mornings are adding enough moisture to make ideal conditions. The next rain happens maybe next Wednesday so you have the weekend to enjoy a snow free Tiger summit in Mid January!! Trails ridden today were Ideal and included Masterlink, East Tiger Summit, Upper Predator, Off The Grid, Fully Rigid, Joyride and NW Timber. Never had to worry about slippery roots or greasy mud. It was just a wonderful ride. Trailforks ride log and pics are here.
Last weekend, I was down in Bend, OR and went XC riding with two buddies on Phil's Trails. There was no snow there either and that Trailforks ride log is here.
