What is fullsndr? Real-Time Trail Status for Mountain Bikers

Every mountain biker knows the frustration. You check the weather, load up the truck, drive 45 minutes to the trailhead, and find out the trails closed two hours ago. Nobody texted you. The Facebook post got buried. The website still says “Open” from yesterday.

fullsndr fixes this.

How It Works

fullsndr monitors trail websites every five minutes. When a trail status changes from Open to Closed (or back), every subscriber gets an instant SMS and email alert. No app to install. No social media to check. Just a text message when it matters.

Why It Exists

Trail closures protect the trails themselves. Riding on wet, saturated surfaces creates ruts, channels water, and accelerates erosion. A single wet ride on a jump line can cause $20,000+ in damage. Trail organizations close trails to protect the investment that volunteers and land managers have spent years building.

The problem is communication. Most trail parks rely on their website, Facebook, or word of mouth. By the time you hear about a closure, you might already be in the parking lot.

fullsndr bridges that gap. We watch the trail status so you do not have to.

What is Coming Next

The free tier gives you real-time alerts. The Pro tier ($5/month) adds predictive closures powered by Google DeepMind’s WeatherNext 2 ensemble forecasts, soil moisture levels, and historical closure patterns. Instead of knowing that trails ARE closed, you know when they are ABOUT to close and when they will reopen.

Update: April 2026 - The Prediction Engine is Live

The Pro tier is no longer “coming soon.” As of this week, every Pro subscriber sees a 7-day forecast on every trail card, generated from 64-member WeatherNext 2 ensembles correlated against per-trail surface sensitivity. Headlines read like:

Open until Sunday 8:00 AM, then 42% closure risk for 18h
