Greetings Sledders,

Let’s talk about the weather shall we.
I’d like to get into what I KNOW and what I THINK about the weather.

Here’s what I know for sure. I know the co-efficient of expansion and contraction of high density high molecular weight polyethylene and how to mathematically calculate that value.
Now here’s what I think. I think based on the 112th weather report that we’ve seen in the last 3 days that our trail system is going to go kaput by sometime this weekend. When exactly the kaputniss will reach it’s pinnacle depends on when the cloud cover goes away and the Sun goes on high beam, and I think that it will reach that point tomorrow afternoon and conditions will rapidly go south from that point in time.

TRAILS:
If you plan on riding the trail system anywhere from here to God knows where north of here call first and trust the person you’re talking to because this meltdown seems to be far reaching, can’t speak for other areas, just goes back to the 112th weather report deal mentioned earlier. Off trail will remain a viable here as far as we can tell which lends itself to the what I think part, also mentioned earlier.

GROOMING:
Today it became official, I’ve suspended grooming until further notice and I must say that our guys have done a tremendous job with what they’ve had to work with over the last four weeks. Sadly a grooming sabbatical is upon us which means we are now going into maintenance mode. No rest for the unpaid.

We’ll be back to you with another glowing report when there’s something glowing to report.

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

The calculation is .00007 x the length x the delta T from 70 degrees F.

Greetings Sledders,

Not much going on right now although we had a pretty full parking lot over the weekend and all of those that we talked to reported good to great rides once again. Kudos to our jockeys for doing a great job of grooming in a replenishing snow starved environment and for being delicate with what we have. It’s a tricky thing to accomplish considering the literal mass of the machinery that we drive through the woods.

Their efforts are going to be rewarded tomorrow as we are going to shut down grooming for a day and take a group ride on the smaller, faster machines and head for Tally’s in Lewiston where I will deliver their Dec. paychecks which amounts to a burger, an order of fries and a Coke, or iced tea, whatever as long it ain’t beer. The fries and Coke are actually their retro-active Christmas bonuses. Believe it or not these guys will be happy at the end of the day because we do this insane function for you and because we like to.

TIME TO FIRE IT UP:

WEATHER:
This will become the topic of every reporter’s choice in the days to come. We don’t have a complete handle on what’s in store for us and it’s painfully obvious after watching the 6:00 news that the local professional prognosticators are equally in the dark. A warm up is emanate. To what degree and to what extent the Sun will play a part are the uncertainties at this point. We can tolerate a 30 degree day as long as the Sun stays behind cloud cover, a 30 degree day with the Sun on high beam with a clear sky is a completely different story.

GROOMING:
Down tomorrow and back in the saddle Wed. as long as the aforementioned weather thingy doesn’t cut us off at the knees. Have to wait and see.

TRAILS:
Best advice here is to ride now!! Things could get ugly at pretty much anytime in the near future.

Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
