Snowy - Its cold enough to ride, but you have to deal with snow. I think clockwise is best direction for dealing with the deepest snow by going downhill. I had to push the bike up a couple of sections, but the solitude is worth it. The snow turns this blue ride into a black diamond, so be ready for the extra work. I rode this Friday afternoon from the Dump Transfer Station and went clockwise. Turned around at the far north end because I wanted to ride the S turns in (trail maintenance). No mud at 4pm, but be prepared for that to change if temps go up. cJ.
