Minor Updates -- Some More Openings

OVERVIEW: Not many changes from last week, but a few additional openings at Flume, Wilmington and Mt. Pisgah & Fowler's Crossing, Saranac Lake. 

Biggest takeaway lately is that volunteers across our region have been doing AMAZING work to get the trails ready for the season.  They've been logging many hours and tackling many miles to leaf blow and clear blowdown, not to mention the trails committees which have been strategizing on trail projects for the season. 

​To every volunteer: THANK YOU SO MUCH for your hard work, it makes a huge difference.  Please remember to log your hours -- we'd like to hook you up with some kind of thank you for your service and logging your hours is the best way to keep a record of that time.

LOG YOUR HRS

FORECAST: ​Last week’s rain hasn’t put a damper on the conditions report.

Across BETA land the lows in the next couple days will drop to abt freezing, but we probably won’t dip into a freeze-thaw cycle.  Even so, please keep an eye out for esp. fragile soils this weekend.

Some rain on & off all week, the worst of it falling in western BETA land Tues-Thurs, 
~0.14in per day.  Friendly reminder: please avoid riding while it's actively raining and pay close attention to whether you're leaving tracks after we've gotten a bit of recent rain.

THE TRAILS
Changes from last week: 

• 🟢 Mt. Pisgah and Fowler's Crossing, Saranac Lake -- Last week they were yellow, now they're green (EXCEPT for The Cure at Mt. Pisgah which is still too soft to ride -- please avoid it entirely).
• ⚠️ Lussi/Loggers, Lake Placid -- Last week we initially reported LL as green, but it's truly hovering more around yellow since there's still a bit of work to do and a few stubborn wet spots.  Shoutout to the LP trail committee, esp. Nick Z, Stefano, Bob, and Dusty for getting the LP trails clear.
• ⚠️ Flume, Wilmington -- After a week of volunteer work and a bit of drying out, all trails are considered yellow.  All trails have been leaf blown except for Upper Connector to Bear Den & res hiking trail to CCC.  Awesome work done by the Wilmington trails committee + friends in getting the spring maintenance done and dusted.
