Very fun and different way to see the same trails.

Unfortunately the shore is usally the place to look to for clearer trails, we got walloped!

Make yourself a ski bike! I did, it's fun.

I like to ride case in the winter. You have to hit it when it's cold and really frozen hard (especially a few days after the storm when it's packed down from all the foot traffic). Fast trails, and makes Casemart something interesting again.

Nice, thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to give that a try. I've never actually ridden there (this was my first season riding in CT), will I get wildly lost with snow on the ground? Or is it relatively easy to navigate there? Thanks.

Case is well blazed.

Troutbrook in Easton is real nice when some snow is down, but there is no mountain bike riding from 1/1 to 4/30, but you still have a week left this month....

Sit tight. We need some rain or just a few warm days. Then, when it refreezes, you can ride on top no problem. Plan on going further, as most of the rocks/roots are under snow. You will cover more ground. If icy, I highly recommend some studded Nokians, or whatever studded tire you can find. They make glare patches nothing.

I have been in spinning class since the snow, waiting for it to harden. Just too deep right now. Even packed by hikers a bit, it is too soft. Soon enough though....
