On a trip thru the south and hope to hit up Windrock sometime this week. It appears to be open all year, just wondering if the riding is still decent? Thanks for any info!
Windrock Conditions
- Thread starter averbalkint
- Start date
I haven't seen the trails but its rained a little bit in the area and there's most likely leaves covering the trails unless someone's been there recently.
We have been getting a lot of rain. Even with full spikes you probably be on the deck a lot. I've ridden the mtn a lot in these conditions and its never fun. I usually quit after one or two runs. If you have xc bikes you can always ride the xc trails by the campground. They were built by the same guys who built the DH trails.
The only race we've ever done in the rain there was sheer madness. I kinda would like to try to ride the place in a good muddy mess, but the smart part of me would choose to stay home. Would love to hit Southern Rocks in the pouring rain just once though.
It is really wet there since the rain has not been letting off for more than a day or so at a time. Otherwise the trails are in good condition for the most part. No trees are down of recently. There are a couple boards broken on the the rock to wood towards the beginning of the trail, and the Intimidator (the drop with a #3 license plate on it) needs a bit of work but is stable at the moment.
I will be going out there to do some trail maintenance here soon. Hopefully some day that is nice this week/weekend.

Yeah, skip the big rock drop near the top of trail 1, somebody busted through the lander and left a hole in it. There is a large tree down toward the bottom of Southern Rocks, after the creek crossing. Wasn't hard to get underneath though, as I was already laying on the ground. Slick Slick Slick....but fun!

We have gotten serious amounts of rain this winter and as much as 2" yesterday. Be for warned the mountain is going to be really muddy and wet for awhile.
yeah, its soupy up there, it seems like as soon as it looks like its gonna start to dry it rains enough to mud it up again.
Thanks for the heads up. Think we'll check out TTC this weekend.
Looks as though it may dry out for next weekend. May shoot for Saturday.

Anyone riding this Saturday (Feb 4th)? Thinking of doing some Windrockin.
There may be a small group of us out there so long as the weather is good on Saturday.

We had plans to ride but its falling apart like a cheap suit, Rain & I-40 west bound rock slide has dampened
the ride.Might still be some locals riding

Another rock slide? How long will it take to get this one cleaned up?
I'll be there, I dont drive a truck though so cant help too much with shuttle. Should have some of the bridge issues cleared up too.
Looks like 80% chance of rain, so unless that changes I will not be there for sure even though I want to test out my new brakes...

I bought a set of 35's for my Tundra and we're gonna crawl right over that rock slide!
Yea looks like rain is imminent. Don't mind some rain but I doubt many will show up so I'll probably skip out as well
Looks like its already cleaned up and could reopen as soon as Monday. One day too late.
Yay for locals. I might head up there Sunday
