Tough Sledding Continues: Update 12/28/18
Well… Until today, not much new to report on. Trails were as hard as a brick and the washouts had frozen over. I had seen a few snowmobiles bopping around town, so I can say the trails are passable but rough…probably not fun to ride for long distances. Light snows over the past several days […]
New Year’s White Hope? Update 12/22/18
I’m not going to lie: Snowmobiling conditions SUCK right now. That’s what Friday’s 51*F and 2 inches of rain does for us. It’s really that simple. Around town we have a residual 4-10 inch snow pack.

Tough sleddin’ ahead: Update 12/17/18
We dodged a bullet last weekend, but I don’t think we’ll be so lucky for the next go around. The top of the snow pack is crusty from the sleet/freezing rain mixture we got on Sunday. We did get a bit of snow mixed in, but not enough to move the needle up for us. […]

After an inch of snow/sleet/freezing rain slop late Saturday night, we got our rain for Sunday. Thankfully, it won’t be warm enough, long enough […]
