Around .4″ of rain Tuesday and .3″ on Wednesday followed by a cool front making for fresh day on Thursday. Pleasant conditions for being in the woods and on the mountain bike course. Overall July has seen normal to slightly above normal rainfall keeping the woods and grounds green and lush.
We have been busy on the ski and mountain bike trails mowing/brushing and constantly clearing deadfall and cutting/splitting firewood. A few storms and wind events this summer bringing down the usual amount of trees, no structural damage to any buildings.
The woods are very lush and green and vibrant with wildflowers.

Trails open, driest conditions of the season until a short but welcomed rain shower Tuesday around lunch time. Should be good riding rest of the afternoon once the deck dries a hour or so. A great weekend of riding. Good seeing regulars and new riders out.
We have been busy on the trails clearing deadfall, brushing out overgrown areas, blowing out forest matter and dirt work on the berms on the Bullhead Bootleg loop. This week we are resuming work on the Twin Lakes singletrack loop doing dirt work on Hudson’s Hula.
Bugs are out…keep the wheels moving! Not as bad when temps below 70.
Be aware for changing conditions and any falling forest matter such as sticks, branches etc.
New maps are available at the parking lot kiosk. Click here for new map online. The main trail head is near the resort with other trails accessible from the driveway for the Twin Lakes and Sukkerwest loops, county road 110 and hiway 34 for the Bullhead Bootleg loop. We will also have the LagChilada challenge in place again for this season. Pink signs will be placed marking the course. Twin Lakes has a “sport” option to bypass the first part that has more roots.
