yea dont stay in deadwood if ur there to ride not gamble..its a pain in the *** to get to the riding areas..only one trail and it always toast..stay at mt meadows,,nice cabins and in the main trail area..sounds like off trail is busting up sleds so be cautious..dont freak if there is no snow in deadwood..usually isnt..check the snow depth before u go..comes and goes out there..
