just got back from hurley and mercer area from 12/26-12/29 did over 250mi in three days. the trails were smooth and white, a little thin but certainly rideable. just stay off trail 12 to mercer and 2 to saxon lots of rocks and chipped the carbide out of about 6 of my brand new studs. the flowage was great riding but only about 1in of powder on the ice. had the ol' srx running about 125 on the dream o meter.
