It's an all weather reinforced track....There's normally some puddles, but nothing that'll have you shrieking in horror...
Mudguards and pads are optional

Yes, but if it freezes or snows it could be unrideable, as it was last week.
Havent been on Whites in the last week or so, so cant comment what its likie @ the mo'but I was up there in the heavy snow just before xmas.
Everything was rideable but much much more hardwork & slippery.

Asking specifically as we travelled all the way to Cwmcarn and were turned away
its really muddy thanks to the frost.
Was there on the weekend rode whytes an the wall. Agree with what has been said it's muddy but there was sheet ice in places. I think most of the ice will have gone by the weekend, but will be wet.
Isn't more snow forecast for that way this week? Not that I trust the Met office at the moment.
Thanks for all the comments, I think Im still going, a day away from fun control and the kids sounds just brilliant!!
Anyone got any snow covered trail pics from last week???
So did any snow materialise out that way? Planning on Whites, Wall and Penhydd on Sat...
Reports of 4 inches in South Wales. Would like confirmation of that though.
Phone the guys at Skyline Cycles, as they'd probably be happy to let you know what the weather's like. Just make sure you take them some cake to say thank-you......
No snow in Swansea if that helps?

Just rain, but that's normal.....off down to nice, dusty Clyne tonight.
Cmw carn still 'officially' closed but managed to ride the red route today :-). Lots of snow still on top. Not really that much fun tbh, you will need to push in some areas near the top. Lower areas are ok though.
Afan the wall was absolutely fine on Wednesday, few puddles but that was all, only snow we saw was on some mountain we drove over, afan forest park was fine. So was the rather lovely girl from Cardiff but I can't promise she'll be there.
Wet, warmer now. you won't be needing ice tyres.
In case anyone is interested, it's mostly good on Whites, Wall and Penhydd.
Penhydd is a bit puddle strewn on sidewinder. And that pointless section before Hidden Valley is closed as usualy this time of year.
Wall, generally great, bit plastered after the final descent though.
Whites, all perfect except the exposed area on the Energy section which is a total cack fest.
it was filthy
