The group that i ride with down south stay off the trails when wet just out of respect for the land.

The youtube vid shows standing water on many parts of the trail.





It's good to know that my friends and i don't need to check on trail conditions when we come up to ride in the MRV. Wet or dry ride them.
Jester, Looks like the "official" VMBA/IMBA word is ride it wet or dry in the MRV. Tell Your local riders they can get a map and directions at the local shop.
Waterbury has done about 400 hours of work on the upper trails in the last few years and still close them for several days after rain.
