Banner at the end of April

[ak_petey]

I was hoping to do a Banner Creek run near the end of April.
I have never been out that way during that time of the year. Anyone got input?
if it has good wheeling conditions, I would like to host my birthday month ride with brandon. Mel said he would make cupcakes.

I'll make cupcakes but I doubt you all will like them. That time if year is hit or miss. Could be little snow left and possible mud here and there. Could still be lots of snow. Once break up starts they close the trail for a while though.

[ak_petey]

hmm maybe someone could scout it out for us. Anyone in the area?

[AKMark]

I'm game, if it's open.

If not, I still want to Wheel, since the month of March is gone for me.

other trails I would like to consider is 55 mile and fairbanks creek. Didnt AO have something worked out with the mushers for fairbanks creek?
I think 55 mile might be a little slippery still in april. chime in

[akram]

No we didn't. We just decided we wouldn't run it from November to 1 April. But the next year that was a bust since we didn't have any real snow till Dec that year. And usually April 1 there is still lots of snow. I don't like FCT till break up and then after that it gets boring again.

Let's go....not 55 mile as the first climb would be ripped up.
Just need a weekend I'm not on call.
