Better bring your sled with the dog! They are just getting to plowing the paths as of 10am. Solid ice underneath. We’ll see how it goes but it’s not rieable in it’s current condition. I put first boot bombs down in many places and my ski tracks from last night were totally gone. * * * Boot bombed. ![](https://ecmtb-uploads-bucket.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/9/94fd789bbe9e22cecf3a012faabc844b5d90966c.jpg) Plowed 30 minutes later. ![](https://ecmtb-uploads-bucket.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/8/8c7df0c9b3378e4c0633bb45c238dd1a3a8d3839.jpg) This is looking down the hill on the AT trail, the canal bridge is that thing at the bottom. ![](https://ecmtb-uploads-bucket.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/3/3202739592406de8adf8c5a6ccb8e6a2be4e7c29.jpg) What the duck! ![](https://ecmtb-uploads-bucket.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/4/41a25417f1a9a689c7e6cb58a160a52ca24d8655.jpg) ---

It’s right some purdy though. We’re still planning to ride there tonight, so fingers crossed the crews are able to clear out the rest of the park by tonight. If anyone else is in there again later today please post up the conditions. ---

Hey Mike watch that white powder it’s a slippery slope with that stuff. ---

As of 4pm, conditions are okay to not great, not much plowing has happened. There is a foot packed 18" wide singletrack in the most popular areas that should be fine for fat bikes. The AT trail isn’t plowed toward Dartmouth Crossing, only foot packed and random snowshoe tacks that may even be a struggle for fat bikes. I’d recommend starting at the Fairbanks Centre if the ride is still on. ---

Reports don’t sound good so far and they probably don’t do any plowing in the evening, so we are going to move this ride to Wednesday Feb 15th at 7pm. ---

Snowshoe crew tonite maybe? Hit up the stuff that normally doesn’t get plowed. I’ll even bring my groomer: [Trail Grooming](http://ecmtb.net/t/trail-grooming/2922). ---

I can confirm exactly what @bent6543 says. You can ride a 500m U shape on mostly plowed trails. The fat bikes can handle the deep snow but there is no room for error. If you get out of the groove you are in 18" soft deep fresh snow. ---

Chris and I will be there anyway, because we are apparently not too bright. Anyone who wants to join us is welcome! ---
