Corner Canyon Conditions

[rockgremlin]

Interesting.

It appears those urban coyotes have it easy. Here's some snaps of some Cedar City coyotes:

Trails had gotten a little icy in spots by the time I got out on Tuesday, Thermometer in my truck read 39, so I expected a bit soft and some slush... nope icy and slick! Maple was slick, Ann's a little better to the tunnel, Ann's up was decent, Canyon Hollow heading down was good, Road out to the Equestrian Center was slick and scary.

Tonight Acca and I hit it again. The few inches of snow that fell yesterday has been lightly packed. Traction was great! Probably the fastest that I have been on snow heading downhill. Maple had a couple slick spots but good, Ann's to the tunnel was fast and grippy, Ann's up was about as good of traction as I've had, Canyon Down was great, and finally Creek View was fast. Great conditions reat ride!

anyone know if creek view got packed down in the past couple of days?

A little warm weather makes me think about how the lower trails might be. Probably a mud fest...

[Iceaxe]

The lower trails are still a no go.

I rode CC today. Some of the lower south facing slopes are now open if you choose your trails wisely. Today was the first day I thought the trails were dry enough to ride. Rattler to Ghost Falls is open, Gas Line is open, Creekview is open, lower North Ghost is open, Quail is open, Aqua Duct is open and the CC Road is open and that's about it.

You can look at my Strava track from today and see exactly what is rideable. Monday's rain really melted a lot of snow and Tuesday's winds helped dry the mud.

Jealous!

My son is looking for something to do for his eagle project. I'm thinking maybe he could do a project in corner canyon? Thoughts? Does anybody have a contact?

[double moo]

Just swing over to city hall, downstairs on the west side, and talk to the folks in the Parks Depertment.

Or snd him over - I need some yard work... I'm getting old, and I think that counts (not old in Axe terms...)

I rode up from the equestrian this morning. Thought I shouldn't have brought the fat bike for a bit. All the south facing lower trails (gasoline and rattler) were dry, but will be muddy in spots during the day. From the ghost falls bridge up is snow covered. Including all of canyon hollow. Anything in the trees has a trace to 2 inches of snow. The fat bike did great. Could probably put a lower loop together including bear canyon bridge on a skinny tire. Going to be some mud during the day in places.

[Iceaxe]

I wouldn't ride CC today. When the trails thaw out about noon it will be a muddy mess. Give it at least another day.

[Iceaxe]

Asshats riding CC today....

[accadacca]

Hate cleaning off mud.

[accadacca]

Skinny tire or fat in the morning?

[Iceaxe]

Skinny should be fine provided you choose your trails wisely.

[accadacca]

Yeah I ended up taking the fat bike. I was too lazy to pull my other bike down from the garage hooks. The lower trails are good. Mid to upper are muddy or snow. Maybe by the weekend it will open up a few more options.
