Why Dewey Mountain dries this way
Dewey Mountain sits in the Adirondacks & Plattsburgh, NY area, on loam soil that drains well over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. Whether it’s worth riding comes down to how that ground sheds and holds water after rain. That’s exactly what Loam tracks, hour by hour. At 2,093 ft, Dewey Mountain rides WSW-facing ground that gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture; the gentle grade, around 2.8° on average, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.

How these factors affect drying
SoilLoam
Loam balances drainage with water retention, so it typically takes a day or two to dry after meaningful rain.
CanopyDense 85%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainHolds water
Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.

Loam models this exact ground against live weather rather than using one regional forecast.
