I rode the following on my Stumpjumper 29’r with no studs, all doable, just a few sections that require caution if you are studless. Studded tires, you’ll be able to fly through everything.
Da Minion: frozen hero dirt with a few very small ice patches
Fire Road Bypass: Frozen dirt and about 20-25% ice covered. Ridable without studs, but slowly.
Fire road: as you’d expect, lots of ice and dirt. On my way out ice was starting to melt
Flipside (Short): Frozen dirt, very liitle ice except for just before the two bridges at the end there is a small section that is ice covered.
Power Line: Running water, Ice, Mud, Frozen dirt. Rideable.
Suzie Lake loop: Icy sections on North facing slopes, Rest is frozen dirt.
