Trails have been in excellent condition after the last couple of snowfalls for this time of year. However, most of the grade between Lakewood and Townsend is now quite thin, and very muddy. However, the woods are full of snow, and offers some great riding. Keep an eye on the weather to see what the next couple of days has in store for one last ride.
