59F and Sunny

It would be a great day if this were April. Unfortunately, trails remain closed and the 10-day forecast isn't looking good.

Here is a picture of the field next to the Dryden VFW from earlier today.

Trails still closed due to lack of snow

We got 1-2" of fluff this weekend. Unfortunately, not enough to ride yet. Please stay off the trails until we get more snow.

Rain + 40s = Closed trails

Well, that didn't last long. Please stay off the trails until conditions improve. Thanks.

Trails are finally open!

It has been an unusually warm winter so far, but conditions have finally improved.

We received 4-8" at the end of last week and it is cold. There isn't enough snow to groom yet, and with no base expect to quickly wear our your carbides and have them broken apart by all the rocks (personal experience).

The wet snow followed by near 0 temps have the trails covered with drooping branches and some fallen trees. The wet spots are freezing over, but there is still plenty of standing water and mucky conditions. We will need a lot more cold, snow and volunteers to clear trails before the groomers will be able to get out. For those that do venture out, be extra cautious and take it easy.

There is a new section on trail S25b connecting Midline Rd (near Cornelius Rd) and Yellow Barn Rd at the Dusenberry Sportsman club. Follow the signs. This change was required by land owners that were not pleased with snomobilier behaviour last year.

A Section of C2b on Hammond Hill Rd has been re-routed to avoid a large section of standing water at the top of the hill. Follow the signs.
