Did’nt ride any of them this past week end cause we went west from Evergreen Lake, but we heard they were all in good shape.
RonAlmost forgot these trails. The Arietta boys are doing a great job this year. Have not heard any complaints. So far what we rode has been great.
Friend lives In Piseco just posted on face book 30 plus inches and still coming. There will be slush on the lakes. Smaller sleds plan on getting stuck.
Big thanks to them and the Arietta High Way Super. ( Craig S. )Friends took the Mad Tom to S46 this past Saturday and said it was great. The boys in Ohio were able to use the big groomer here so they could stay nice and warm in the cab. Must be the new snow last week was enough to cover the giant rocks they complain about. Interesting ? ?
But no word on C4C to C4 Mosquito Hill trail and of course no word on C4 to Jerseyfield Lake either. High Snow and corridor trails formula. Here some one has to use a Scandik and they cant find any one. Its not wide enough for the big groomers. I give up.
RonI did not ride thru Morehouse this past week end but my friends did and said as usual the trails are great. Hats off to Icicleal Al and Wayner for the great job.
RonTalked to a lot of riders in the Ox Bow both Friday and Saturday night. What a mob Cristie had both days. But good for her. First time I ever had to park down on the flat close to the lake. A lot said the trails were getting pretty choppy on Saturday night and we found that true on the short trail out to Piseco Lake. But we’re not complaining. I have seen it worse a lot worse. The town boys and Pleasant Riders are doing a great jog this year with what they had to work with. That cold snap really set them up hard so they are holding so far. Going to try for at least one more this coming week end.
RonFinally got a ride in this week end and like you said-All trails were fine, great to us compared to years back when Rolly from the Bare Path was grooming with a old set of bed springs. And that was a long time ago.
I hope the lakes dont slush up with the new snow coming staring tonight. The temps are in the 20’s at night so they should’nt. We’re going to try to get at least one more in also.
RonHey Trail Ryder
I put a loop you might like to do however I put in the wrong post (see Speculator/Perkins by emil ) Also the lake might have tightened up by now so maybe no slush.
Good food in Ohio Tavern, Haskells Inn, or the Club. Of course always good food at the OxBow.
RonI talked to the Senior Forester from Region 6 about this trail about 3 months ago. He said no plans to fix it this year 2022. Found out from Jen at NYSSA that all work plans are on hold until the are blessed by Protect the Adirondacks. The DEC and these greenies with NYSSA have been discussing the plans since the Law Suit so no work will be done as I said being blessed by Protect.
I gave her as lot of feed back about how dangerous this trail is and that no one seems to be concerned about the safety us us riding them. Maybe when a handy capped person gets hurt and sue’s for allowing snowmobiling on such a dangerous trail will it gets fixed. Only been going on 25 years that its been like it is now.
Screw it. I give up.
RonGo west young man, Go west
See Darin’s ride from last Friday. Slush on the lakes is probably going to be a little worse since the sun is making the snow heavy er and heavy er. Better be studed and have some power. Once you get to the Morehouse system you’ll be fine. Do not go south from Morehouse on C4C cause the Ohio Club groomed it once this year. Go to the Hamilton County line and take either the Jones Rd south or cross the Nobolosboro Bridge and take S46A towards Ohio Either way is OK.
Darin made the Salisbury loop and it looked OK except for a little mud in Norway. From the Salisbury Club you had better be looking for gas cause there is none till you get back to OxBow. This loop might be all you want in one day. Probably looking at a 100 plus miles from Spectacular.. Ask riders in the bars where they came from and how good or bad the trails are and where they came from. Also do not take C4 out of Ohio to Salibury. Take C4B and C4 thru Norway. The Club never cut it out or groomed it this year. They just took the funding and ran.
RonSalisbury sez trails are open. Talked to friends who rode from Evergreen to Salisbury last Saturday and said it was passable but not great. Powley was great but after Powley to Club was rough in places so go slow. Mud holes were froze and passable.
Sunday saw 3 inches of white gold and more coming on Tuesday.
Might be forced to go up and give it a last ditch effort this week end.
Ron.Ohio just posted yesterday on face book that the only trail they have open from the north is C4 jones rd to C4B near the Ohio Tavern. Any trail from Nobolosboro north or west to Ohio is closed due to a lack of snow on the trails here to run the big groomers, which I find hard to believe cause Steve Bazon ( local forest ranger ) and several members of the Club years ago ran a D6 bull dozer thru the Mad Tom section to S46 intersection and the Weakly boys used their excavator to fix, remove rocks and ditch from here to Nobolosboro. This is a high snow corridor trail formula that we paid to have maintained with our registration. It aint even cut out this year.
RonSalisbury just announced that their trails are now open but rough in a lot of places. They groomed what they could with the new snow and found some water holes here and there and some bare spots in the fields.
Ron.No word on face book that these trails got enough of the white gold to re open. So they are officially still closed.
RonAs Darrin said in his weather report. You had better know where the CRICK INLETS and LAKE OUTLETS are or do not ride the lakes. I see sleds at the OxBow on the web cam so I know they crossed a lake or lakes to get here. Even most locals have to at least cross Oxbow Lake to get here and or Spy Lake and or Piseco Lake and or Sacandaga Lake and or Lake Pleasant but they probably know the inlets and outlets
Ron
PS As far as the Ohio and Salisbury trails are concerned. They are still closed at this time. Nothing to the contrary on face book.
