Trail Reports?

agreed, would like to ride on Friday and was hoping to read some reports.

This past Sunday 1/16/22 my friend parked at the Rt10 lot and used the towns access trail to the Powley Rd. It was horrible, he had to clear limbs off all the way and it needs more snow. I know the town rarely takes care of this short mile of trail so it always rough. But its only a mile.
Friend said the Powley Rd was good. Banged rocks a couple of time but they took their time and enjoyed it. The big BR 180 has not been out at that date but the road did not have enough snow to make moguls any way.
Its getting there. We only picked up 6 to 8 inches of snow from last Mondays storm but I’m sure it helped.
We have not ride”n Evergreen since 1/8/22 but it still should be at least 60 mph on the straight.
I’m more worried about any pressure ridges or slush on Piseco cause we are going up to camp today to try to get to the OxBow . I dont think there is enough snow thru Sherriff Lake for the town to try to groom to get to or from the Powley Rd to Piseco. Rocks and little cricks. This trail needs some TLC during the off months from the town but they have to pay every one to get this done and it aint going to happen.

well, can’t do the facebook/social media thing, so I will post reports here as well.

Hey Icicleal
My friends took Morehouse to the Ohio Hotel Friday via the Mad Tom trail. (S46A) Morehouse was great. Mad Tom (S46A) was OK passable but could use some grooming. The Ohio boys are only grooming the roads around town not much on the trails yet. They were lucky to get into the Hotel as by 1PM you had just enough room to stand.
They decided to take the trail to Mosquito Hill via buck point camp.( Herk. 17) Rough all the way but there was an attempt to groom from buck point to the Hill (C4C) from Hill thru Moremouse to Evergreen was great. You guys in Morehouse are wearing out the snow but good for us. To bad Arietta wont spend the money that we give them to do what you guys do.

Rode from Lake Pleasant out to Sacandaga then Oxbow on Tuesday. Pretty much the woods trails all have thin cover – Page Street wasn’t too bad but leaving Sacandaga and coming out past the cemetery was rough. Lakes are all good with some slush here and there but nothing that gave me pause. A couple spots had some glare ice just under the fluff – that makes it interesting for sure.

Wednesday went out to Fawn Lake and then past the Outhouse and up into Perkins. All of that trail had been groomed and was decent. Definitely some thin spots and rocks here and there but a good ride overall. No issue in Perkins – the town was grooming in there yesterday. Lake Pleasant also groomed the 2 miles from hell yesterday – but it didn’t do much good. It’s pretty bad. Lewey Lake and Indian Lake were a good run. Once you come off Indian Lake into town, its been groomed but is thin. After lunch, went back down through Perkins, across Route 30 and down to Oak Mountain. Brutal. If you don’t have a trailer to get your sled up to Perkins, you should run out to Sacandaga and up the Fish Mtn Trail. Otherwise, you’re in for a pounding and your sled will be beat up as well. Need more snow for sure.

We also went down the river trail from Route 30 to see if we could make it down to old Route 30. Turned around as that trail is ungroomed and in very bad shape.
