I took NWT-Joyride-Silent Swamp-Crossover Road up and it's the wettest and muddiest I've ridden so far this winter. Not surprising given all the rain recently. The lower down trails have some increasingly large mud pits, even Silent Swamp...

Did the full Preston to PBR, Fully Rigidto Joy Ride and out NWT today. Driest and best running trail on the mountain right now is PBR. JoyRide is also running sweet as well. You'll get wet on Preston, but no where near as bad as it used to be And Ful...

Took the car and bike on this forest service road to explore Gold Mountain above Darington. The main FS road has a couple places where tree clearing needed to be completed. The rains made for a wet, and foggy day so the viewpoints weren't available....

Took the last of the blow downs out on Monday. Escorlator is clear with one small reroute about midway up to get around a stump divot.

Taylor mountain is located in the perfect spot for people either north or south of highway 18, the terrain has all kinds of potential for epic riding, but the trails are in no condition for winter riding. 70% of lower trails are covered in multiple i...

Just finished a two hour tour of Banner on the singlespeed. Great place. Felt like a very dense Paradise Valley. Trails were in great shape. Signs of recent blowdown clearing and shrubing on some trails. Took the map from the visitkitsap site. Map is...

Went up the Bessemer Road too until I ran out of time. I reached 2800 feet and still no snow except on the ridges. Streams and washouts were big so you'll get your feet wet a couple times. The track and pictures are at the link below. Gre...

After the carnage from last Sunday, and the dismal ride Monday evening, I was astounded to see how amazing the trails looked today! I rode Elevator, Funner, Escorlator, YGD, Sick & Twisted, No Road, and Black Label. Everything was great, ex...

Trails were in great shape, not our typical winter riding.
Alders and ClearCut had some standing puddles so avoid those if you can.

Creeks are high, weather was balmy, lots of recent flood damage from 1/4/15. Nothing that will slow your ride (except the creeks). You won't keep your feet dry. Water is high right now, but there is not much snow feeding it meaning it sho...

NW Timber-> Joyride-> Silent Swamp -> Crossover road -> OTG and down most of the same.

The wind storm of 1/17 - 1/18 did some heavy damage out here. The good news is that I didn't see any damaged features, and the trail bed is in good shape (actually, the muddiest/worst I've seen since I started riding out here last fall, but tha...

I got out late afternoon today to do NWT-Joyride-SS then climbed up the road and did Fully Rigid down to Joyride-NWT. All pretty rideable, but a bit more challenging w wet roots and rocks and an ocassional mud patch. I was running out of...

Skookum Flats - White River is 100% rideable right now. There is a little snow here and there but all compressed enough that riding it is easy. You will have to step over a few downed logs.
Few things: White River Trail is a LOT more sunny than S...

Trails in great shape! No mud sections of significance, but a few soft spots and bruises here and there. No blowdown.

I am a lower level intermediate rider. Surprisingly good conditions for January (had not rained heavily in 4+ days) with only a handful on standing water areas. Kudos to the trailer workers.
I hit Mainline, Lloyd's, Cedar Run, Ephemeral, Southern Tr...

For all of the recent rains, the trails are not too muddy. There are a few mud puddles (and two or three HUGE puddles) but generally everything is in good shape. However, after the big windstorm in December, there are lots of trees down across the tr...
