Dean may join.

How much snow is up there john? I see their has been 2 canx'd runs, is their really that little of snow?

Were averaging under a foot, 6 to 8 inches maybe.

However, Chuck said the trails, or at least some of them are ridable up by Cleary, minimal, but ridable. So I figured I'd go check it out.

All the snow fall is at Summit, up high.

John,

Suggest you park at the intersection of the Fairbanks & Fish Creek Roads below our place instead of the Steese/Fairbanks Creek Road parking area. You could also park at the Circle Trail Trailhead. Margaret and I went out Sunday to ride to Fish Creek on the Alpha C Site Trail and found the Alpha C Site Trail has been plowed. The D8 or 9 is still sitting there with a light plant running and keeping it warm. Must be some exploration going on there. We haven't ridden on the old FE Power Line Trail but it looked OK when we rode by it on our way to Chatanika and the Circle Trail which is fine.

We also rode out the Gilmore Dome Trail a ways and it is rideable as well.

Chuck

Bummer they plowed the Alpha C, guess we won't be going that way

Thanks for the update.
