The doubletrack ski trails are open to all users. They are designated as ski trails in the winter, and open to all users during the rest of the year. If you look at some of the doubletrack signage they are actually designated as biking trails, along with the other uses.
As for using them now, please let the soil be your guide. If you are sinking in at all on the sections with grass, you will be a lot worse in areas that are dirt. The Hutchens family was out hiking yesterday, and some areas were good. And some areas were still very soft. The problem with biking versus hiking is you come up on these areas quickly and before you can stop or dismount you are already rutting the trail. And these ruts stay around for a long time and give us a bad name in the rest of the community.
Please be patient. The next week should bring about some postitive changes.
And stay tuned for the updated Trail Prep / work days!
