Kids ride free is on select days for the 10:00am ride only I believe. Book in advance. I tried to book it a month out last year and they were all out.

. We just went ahead and paid for the kids seats at the normal price. Guess there's a lot more demand for that program that I thought!

I grew up riding in a Willy's 1942 Jeep, no seat belts, heater was good enough for the driver and passenger (Dad n Ma) wouldn't changes those memories for anything. How things have changed, and yet they remain the same

July 4th - I sure hope the trails are open by then!
Poughkeepsie and Black Bear opened last year around the 1st of July. We have had snow and more snow the last several weeks! I would say that the trail plowing is about 3 weeks behind last year at this point.
Time will tell, I'll post some trail plowing progress as soon as the county road crews start giving status.

Here is the link to the Ouray County Road Department and their first update. Good pictures at the bottom.
(They don't list Poughkeepsie - it is not plowed - cleared by nature!)
We need sunshine and warmer weather!!
