    @hill^billy and @Tom the Bomb can report on the conditions since they've been up there in the last week or 2. I'm going up there thursday so I'll give an update.

    Boy Scout is good, two downed trees no snow, Logging trail is a mess, and Leppy is said to be in great condition. Upper sections should be good to go but don’t quote me on it?

    Thanks, @Tom the Bomb and @hill^billy. Maybe it would be better to wait a couple more weeks. Thanks @beartooth for the info on the lot and Hwy 2. IF the lower trails have downed trees and such, I imagine Blue Ridge trail is a mess as well. It is a little higher on the mountain.See if there are any takers for the ride.

    Yeah, but I posted mine on Mon. I guess since you know more people they'd gravitate towards your ride. I guess I will be riding solo... The ride just went from chill to all out race. Who's in?
