Greetings Sledders,

Sorry to bother you but something’s come up. It snowed last night and it’s continuing as I write this amended report. I have generated this thing for 12 years now and this has to be the most frustrating of all those years. The weather forecast continually dances around like a ballerina on steroids making it very difficult to report with any degree of confidence. We went from not going to get anything to maybe 1 or 2 to what actually is happening which is 2" last night and another 2" forecast for tonight.

What does that do to the conditions rating? It elevates it to fair is the simple answer. The rating can’t go to good without having something other than ice for a base and the 2-4" that we are looking to get does nothing to contribute to base. I could easily say that we got 2" therefore we now have 2" of base. NOT. Doesn’t work that way, base building is a work in progress and it takes many snow events for us to pan and build base. Personally I think people are more interested in what they are riding on ( ice, dirt, loose snow, tight snow ) rather than the so called depth of base.

Promise I won’t bother you again till Monday, maybe.

Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
Keith, Sandy and The Girls
