Looking for any info on riding the hills. Has anyone ever stayed right in Deadwood and rode the Michelson trail to and from the hills? Wondering on snow condition in Deadwood vs say Spearfish. Looks like the trail runs right in front of Gulch Casino and lodge. Also does it pay to reclutch for elavation? Thinking of going out the week after the first for 3 days. Looks like they are getting hammered with fresh pow!
