I dont think Ohio ever opened their trails yet as far as I know, how ever I see tracks at the Ohio Tavern on the web map. They usually announce on face book and I did not hear they opened yet. The tracks were pretty bare.
Salisbury did put out on face book that their trails are closed due to the warm weather and rain they just got. They have a lot of farm lands just like Ohio and do not want farmers pissed at the club when dildos like the ones who got the west end of Sacandaga Lake closed to us or the ones who filled the out house full of beer cans on the Fawn Lake Trail one year. To all you folks who watch this web site please be respectful on our trails especially on private lands. Please pass the word on.
RonOhio and Salibury just reported in via face book. Their trails are closed due to the rain and loss of snow in spots on their trails.
RonSalisbury trails just reported on facebook that their club is open but the trails are still closed due to what beautiful white stuff we did have took a beating from rain and warm temps. Lot of farm land down here so farmers dont want sleds in their fields. I’m sure the mud holes north of Stratford are still open also. Going to be nice and cold for a few days but we need that below zero temp to set up the adk. muck that generates heat and keeps them open.

They are probably locals and are not riding on farmers fields.
RonSaw on face book Ohio is grooming around the bars and big roads in their heated cabs. I can see the wide drag marks at the Ohio Hotel. I wonder if the club will get out on C4C to Mosquito Hill or C4J to Jerseyfield Rd. Here they have to use a Scandic and it does’nt have a heated cab or go to a bar. They probably have close to 3 feet of lake effect by now so they can’t say they don’t have enough snow.
I’d like to find out who in the Herkimer County Alliance is in charge of paying out the trail maintenance money to this club. They are high snow and corridor trails for maximum payment. Herkimer County is the highest paid county in NYS by our registrations and this was when we were paying $45 bucks a sled. At last count 2 years ago the were getting over $250,000 for their trails. These trails were only cut out after 2 years in the spring of 2024 and I’ll bet not touched since.
More of you folks out there that ride here should also be calling NYSSA and the Herkimer County Director to NYSSA.
I said it before and I’ll say it again.. I’m 84 now and probably will not ride these trails again.
RonIt was reported on facebook that Ohio groomed or at least pulled a drag into Mosquito Hill C4C and Morehouse is still trying to break open the rest of it up to the French Rd. Icicecal reported that some of the flys that their part crosses was flooded and much blowdown to cut thru. Also they dont know what the beaver dam looks like right at the hill. Ohio did get to Black Creek Lake Rd S46A but never said if they went down to Nobolsboro bridge or the Jones RD. Talked to riders in the Ohio Hotel this past Saturday. They all said the trails were great around town and up towards Remsen. However there were no tracks crossing Hinkley from the camp ground to the north side. Riders I talked to said they were going around and over the dam to get across.
Ron.
