It amazes me the number of phone calls we have received from people calling to ‘scold’ us for not doing a timely trail report. Hmmmm… I have some thoughts; but I won’t share those instead I’ll just simply say if there was a snow trail to report on we would be reporting it! … This is what we wait for all year! We want you up here riding! However there just is nothing to ride. We have about 1-2 inches of snow scattered around the ground. There isn’t much of it on the trail. There were a few riders yesterday… guess they don’t worry about damage to their sleds. The weather report is not real promising for the snowfall we need to get a trail base started. You can be sure that when there is snow to ride we will update immediately!

The rain did turn to snow last night, and we woke up to a white slippery world. The roads were very slick this morning as I headed into town. We got up about 2 inches of snow, and it was freezing rain as I drove in. Not fun. Especially when I know its not enough snow to do snowmobiling any good. Different people tried to cheer me up with ‘well it’s a good start’.
hnmmmm Not really. Just walking thru the crusty white the white becomes all broke up and you’ve got bare ground again. That, along with the extended forecast showing temps up in the high 30’s and 40’s in the week. Not too much to look forward to.
I keep hoping that just like in all the Christmas movies… you know like White Christmas, or any feel good Christmas show where a kid in California is wishing for a white Christmas… magically on Christmas Eve it begins to snow and cover the world in the beautiful white.
Its just not looking good for that outcome.
There it is… enough to tantalize everyone with dreams of snowmobiling.
