Im planning to head up and do the red on Saturday but given all the mental weather I was wondering what the conditions were like? Not too fussed if its a bit slushy/snowy but if its all ice then it might be a bit of a nightmare. Has anyone been up the last few days? Whats it like? Cheers and Happy New Year…

4ft snow supposedly. I'm 'just' down the road and wont venture there just now!!

Quite a handy link for conditions at GT and other Stanes

Rideable upto Buzzards car park, the jump park and anything further is a push (or throw) your bike and walk.

Thanks for the info guys. Looks a bit more work than I thought, given it would be my first ride in months…

The best bet just now for a ride in the Peebles area are the DH trails at Innerleithen. Push up is deep snow in places and the top road has over a foot of snow but under the trees the tracks are fine with just a few inches, I've been up a couple of times in the last week and it was very ridable and good fun! My mate's up there now actually but I'm sat at home 'working' boo!
