if you have to ask, it's probably in worse condition than you would prefer. a couple of people have brought this up already and no one seems to be answering. that (to me) says it's not good. a couple of years ago there was some snow. some people said hardly any. others said over half the course. the night before horning's hideout someone said it was "perfect conditions". my friend went to pre-ride it and said it was so bad he wouldn't race. i raced, had a miserable day but totally enjoyed myself. used a throw away bike though. i would just plan on it being in pretty bad shape. there's been a lot of snow up there lately.
