Snowmobiling Conditions: Update 2/22/13
Snow pack is 16-24 inches “in the woods” around Indian Lake and Speculator, with less on southerly exposures and village highway roadsides. The usual “snow-bowls” west of Route 30 hold over 2 feet of snow. The bigger lakes are starting to get snow dunes from the strong winds we had this week, but the snow […]
Snowmobiling Conditions: Update 2/19/13
I had to run by Speculator today, so I got some “drive-by” stuff for you: Indian Lake and Lewey Lake looked like really nice riding. 2 Miles from Hell was freshly groomed midday: The south end (near Perkins Clearing) was especially nice. The north end (near Lewey Lake) had some spots scuffed down to dirt […]
Snowmobiling Conditions: Update 2/17/13

In other words: The snow is tired! While picking up dinner in town, I ran into Charlie Clark and his wife from […]

Snow pack along the Route 30 corridor was mainly 8-16 inches, but the southerly exposed areas were burnt down to grass in places. Perkins Clearing Area: North end of Perkins Clearing Road was icy […]
