That's why I haven't moved away. I was just training down in the southern mountains. There's still some snow at the same elevations as the Crest trail and 401 but it's quickly melting. I'd expect those trails to be rideable soon. I’ve always known I’m lucky living here. That’s why I haven’t moved away.

I did Monarch Crest last year on July21 and it was dry as a bone. This year we had a little more snow through the spring and therefore may take a bit longer to open up completely. These trails have very short seasons for obvious reasons which make week-ends a little busy. When they are open tho, they are SOOO worth it!
