3-21-11 ~ CORRECTION: Trail #8West was NOT plowed beyond Sable Lake! The county only plowed from town to Sable Lake. But we got about 5 inches or so of wet, heavy snow last night so there is snow on Trail #8West; not sure about Trail #89 yet. They are calling for more snow and cold temps again Tuesday and Wednesday! As of right now, you should still trailer out to staging areas.
3-19-11 ~ UPDATE: Norm says even the snow in the woods has a hard crust over it now and there's not much loose snow for lubrication. If we groomed it now and it froze solid it would make matters worse. The county plowed H-58 West all the way so Trails #8West to and including Trail #89 are done for the season. And, unless we get another significant storm before the end of the month, the groomers are probably done too! That means the only way to ride now is from staging areas south of town. Thanks to everyone for another great season despite Ole Man Winter's lack of cooperation! See you next season! Of course, if we do get another storm, I'll let you know!!
3-18-11 ~ Norm is now flying the red and yellow flags. I'm waiting to hear back from him on the trails but those flags mean poor or non-existent to less than perfect conditions. It's been in the mid to high 40's during the day this week. Yesterday afternoon we actually had a brief thunderstorm. Today is supposed to be cooler with a chance of snow showers and temps are only supposed to be in the mid 30's for highs tomorrow. There's still lots of snow out in the woods for some off trail riding. . . some say Spring riding is best. But, it is staging time so if you want to ride bring gas cans and trailer out to the staging areas. The snow won't last much longer ~ this could be the last hoorah, folks!
As always, Ride Safe and bring them home alive, and Don't Drink and Ride!
