Dad and I groomed 10+ hours today. We groomed every thing except the trail to the parking lot as it still has thin snow coverage and it is steep and rocky. Things are looking much better than a couple of weeks ago! The only bad side is that there is a logger use our 4&7 trail …
Doug Todd from the Dammers stopped by and showed me the traction bars they purchased for their Tucker. They look like they really should work for icy and just other steep climbing issues. This is a new development for traction issues for the rubber track Tuckers. You put 5 on each front track as needed and take them off when …
I have been told that there is 4″ of fresh snow at the groomer shed this morning! Dave also said that he heard that there was approximately 8″ on the Killington access road. If anyone has any totals on our trail system let us know. We will be out in the next few days to groom …
I drove up to the Snow Angel and the Wheelerville Road to see what things look like. They still have snow coverage with thin spots showing dirt mixed in but it is still very rideable. Every thing looks pretty flat. We are not grooming this weekend as to not over groom and bare up a …
Dad and I went out grooming today. We went north on 4&7 as far as bridge #24 on the Wheelerville Road. We groomed 407 also and groomed 4&7 back up over Jockey and South to the CCC Road, and the upper trail. Everything is very rideable, we only have a couple of water bar issues …
Our February meeting is tonight the 12th at The Snow Angle on Route 4 in Mendon. It is also on our 4&7 so if you want to ride in you can.It starts at 7pm. Hope to see you there! Sorry it is short notice but I just realized it was not posted yet. Roy.
I shortended this video down to a resonable length. It starts out just after Roy completed our first impassable icy hill by winching the Tucker and the nearly 2 ton grooming drag up the hill using trees for anchors. He did this first one in one or two pulls without much help from me. Little …
Roy obviously was experienced winching the groomer up the hills but we both got extra practice on Saturday. Be careful out there. You can’t even stand up on those icy hills and I’m afraid we pollished off any traction that may have been there. See the process in these vídeos.
Cliff and I were out all day yesterday. The upper trails RD672 to RD67 had drifts but everything groomed up nice. We then went from RD672 north and Jockey {just north of the RD672 intersection} and it was all ice on the steep climbs. We had to winch 6 or 8 times to get over the …
We will be headed out this morning to open up the trails. There is 6 to 7 inches at the groomer shed. High winds will make for tall drifts. Ride carefully as you may meet the groomer anywhere today. Cliff Dutton our web guy is riding today making a map as we go! I will …
