It says they're staying open until natural snow covers the bike trails.

That's not the lift you're riding up on.

It looks like the lift you ride up on to me, but you asked us to tell you it wasn't, so I did. But I'm pretty sure it is.

jonKranked · Dec 22, 2015

they have multiple lifts. they all go to the top of the mountain. but you can ride them down too, although its a lot less fun.

def gunu be muddy and cold, but fuk it maan

According to the "it will change 100 times in the next" 10 day forecast, New Years is looking like a good day to go ride a bike at Windham. Not so sure the snowboarding would be any good, but this dude is planning on heading out to ride for two days. *IF* the forecast is decent and the trails remain open

Yes, yes it would. Bring my snowboard I would.

kickstand · Dec 22, 2015

I'll hit you guys up if the weather and my schedule allows me to make the trip out. 10 hour drive followed by riding alone and sleeping in my car will get rather unfun if I don't find someone to share the love with haha

IH8Rice · Dec 22, 2015

was also a bit upset they announced it so late but then i realized its only two of their trails and imo, not worth a 5.5hr drive each way

two more trails than any other lift access mountain has open.

so in other words, 50% of their terrain is open.... :banana:

Yea, but the 2 trails that are open are 3+ miles long and if you could ski/board on the same day that would be awesome
Surprised Platty wouldn't open up - with the way this winter is looking better get people on the mountain any way you can

I was surprised too, their reply was that they would be too busy making snow (12/19 and 12/20). I don't profess to be a professional snowmaker, but it sure seems to me that the resorts blowing snow are wasting money with this long stretch of temps in the 50's WITH rain.

It's supposed to clear 60* today here in Michigan.....breaking out the fatbike I suppose is my only option.

if they can blow it faster than it melts, they're gonna blow snow. probably.

wow that's pretty depressing

6thElement · Dec 23, 2015

20" fell yesterday in parts of the CO mountains, good day for powder up in the resorts. Although not if you're trying to get across hwy 50 on Monarch Pass where a 7ft deep avalanche buried the road.

42" since Sunday, Mirkwood has to be insane right now. Wanna road trip down there?

That is kind of my point, two days of blowing snow only to have all of it melt during a week long period of 50's and rain doesn't seem like good business sense. You're not going to maintain much of a base to make that worth your time.

yeah CO got like 6 ft of snow in last 2 weeks.. its crazy out there

its gunu be slicker than snot, and hopefully the rain from today and tomorrow wont swamp it

@bengxe how were the trails?

Too flat for a dh bike. It was my first time there, I wish I had taken the trail bike. I got there early when everything was frozen solid and the jumps were still pretty slow. It got worse as the ground thawed.
