Bowater is great but still a lot of ice.

West Pine and Norawarren are icy with a dusting on top of the ice to make things interesting.

Whopper is icy and snowy. We rode Da Minion - Flip - Susie Q - Lakota - Scotch and out.

We also cut out of Whopper and rode across the lake to Evil Birch. It’s not icy, just a bunch of crunchy snow. Not great for skinnies, but our fat bikes beat it down a bit.

I’ve never been to Anima Mundi but super keen to get out for a ride tonight if possible. What time are you going?

I can ride tonight, sure!

Attention Fatties!
A couple of us got into Spider/Skull at lunch. Trail is now broken on Replicator-Ribbon-Skull and Skull end loop and is great rolling with big rubber.
Would be great to see a couple more fatbikes get in and pack it before the next snowfall.

Did some test laps with the groomer at irishmans today . With the cold it should set up great tonight and be excellent tomorrow.

The ride at Woodville was great last night. Having a groomer in the valley is going to make the trails super awesome!

Whopper needs to be packed for skinny, guessing overall should be a good day for fatbiking.

yeah if it wasn’t -30 in Truro it would be great :slight_smile:

Trailflow has been doing a great job with the snow dog groomer. Makes a huge difference! The conditions are great at Woodville and Irishmans from all reports!

Killer good conditions for the fatbikes in Spider/Skull/Major this morning. Squeaky snow made for great traction.

If it gets mild next week and refreezes it would be ok for skinnys but please refrain for now, they’d knife the hell out of it and tear up the climbs.

We Manage to put up a 4-6inches wide packed up to lane 25 entrance with light foot traffic on it.

Went back with lake crossings and plowed trails. Overall mint conditions as long as temp holds for shubie park.

Irishmans’ road was fantastic this morning! GROOMED and flowy!

Spider was good but in a fragile state at 2pm a skinny tire assassin was going out skull and leaving ruts while foot traffic was increasing.
Who ever goes through last is going to decide what the trail thread freezes like.
A fat bike night ride would save the day

I just walked in the door from stomping Whooper. Hopefully it sets nice tonight. Don’t think anyone will be behind me so should be mint.

I was in Spider/Skull/Major btwn 8-9:30 on the fatty to try to mellow out the ruts from the clown(s) who rode skinnies there this afternoon.
Major was untouched today, Skull isn’t too bad, Replicator/Ribbon are heavily rutted.

Rode Whooper this morning. What a ride. It took last night’s stomping like a champ. Have fun.
