Jeremy Surething was out riding yesterday and his comment was that he does not recommend riding at this time. There is a bad ice area on the North side of Jocky just as you start down from the top. Rocks are showing and the water has opened up ditches that you can get a ski caught in and the trails are just so hard and icy in spots.

So use your judgment as to whether you want to ride or not. He is going to send a photo of the ice spot and I will post it later. read more

Dad was out grooming up the trails yesterday. He took his sister with him. They had a nice day and the trails look really nice. Mike G. was out riding and saw them out there.

Go out and ride before the rain comes.

Ride Safely and Ride Right.

Happy New Year!

Our next club meeting is Tuesday, January 9th at 7 PM @ Southside Steakhouse.

Happy trails!

Sorry I did not post earlier but I was out on Saturday and groomed up every thing except 407 as I had a light issue and it was going to get dark if I groomed that section. Also the snow was slimmer in the lower elevations and the State installed 88 water bars on that trail alone. That will be a slow go! I started at 3:45 am at the groomer shed but day light is not long at this time of year. But don’t worry we fixed the light issue and will be back out this week. It takes more time to do the trip with trees down and the water bars that the State added on our trails, but most of them are filling in pretty good with the snow we have to use. read more

The Tucker was fixed today. It did turn out to be what I had found when I tested it out in the woods, the injection pump module was bad so you have to replace the injection pump. We replaced the lift pump also to protect the injection pump. Not a cheep repair at just over $ 4,000.00 . I will see if some of it can be covered under capital repairs.

We are up and ready to go again and hopefully with no more mechanical issues! After seeing it done I believe I could do it myself the next time, but I hope we do not have a next time. The mechanic was a local guy, Todd Potter, some of you might know him. read more

Our meeting at Southside tonight is on. See you at 7 PM.

I just realized that I had not seen a new post about tonight’s meeting. It is on for tonight at the Southside @ 7:00. Hope to see you there.

Mark Quesnel on our first tracks and grooming Dec. 2017! Thank you for your help and sorry you had to walk out!

All of our upper trails from RD 672 to RD 67 and beyond to WR 80 were groomed with early season conditions to be expected. Then our Tucker quit on the trail between RD 672 and RD 69 that goes directly to the groomer shed. I went back up today and it started back up and it went a little ways and quit again. I had my meters and test equipment and worked on it for 4 hours and every thing I was told to test seemed to test fine but it would not start. I will try to get it closer to the groomer shed but if not we will be looking into getting it repaired asap. read more

At Mom and Dads house and the groomer shed there was 14″. There will be more up higher I imagine. Mark and I will be out trying to get the upper trails open tomorrow and Dad and I will go to  Route 4 on Friday if all goes as planed. Remember though the trails do not open for riding until Saturday the 16th!

I will post how things go Thursday and Friday. This was a nice unexpected storm for the beginning of the season! But you still need to ride with caution as the snow is fluffy and has no body so you sink to the bottom and that  is where the rocks and other things are. read more
