Sidnaw / Bruce Crossing Trail Report – 12/13
Groomer Report:
We ran the grade west from Trout Creek to Bruce Crossing and then north in the woods to Rockland yesterday. There is better snow north but there are a lot of wet spots and muddy holes between Bruce Crossing and Rockland. If you choose to ride now use CAUTION! The grade really doesn’t have enough snow for a nice ride yet. Definitely early season conditions.
All the snow we had before today was lake effect which is very fluffy and doesn’t pack well. So, the base of 8″ doesn’t mean there is good ride-able snow yet. We are getting more snow today and it is a system so there is more moisture in it which is what we need.
Please DO NOT climb the “Military Hill” from the highway, US 45, to the fence, we have ongoing erosion issues there and the hill climbers are adding to the problem. YOU COULD CAUSE THIS MAJOR TRAIL TO BE CLOSED IF YOU CONTINUE!
Please ride on your own side of the trail and STOP at the stop signs!
Trail #3 North to Rockland is POOR with many wet areas.
Trail #8 from Ewen to trail #3 North is POOR.
Trail #3/8 East from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 South intersection is POOR.
Trail #3/8 West from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 North intersection is POOR.
Trail #3 South from the railroad grade to the CC road is POOR.
Trail #8 from the trail #3 South intersection to Trout Creek is POOR.
Trail #8 from Trout Creek to Kenton is POOR.
Trail #8 from Kenton to Sidnaw is POOR.
Trail #8/15 from Sidnaw to the trail #109 intersection is POOR.
Watch for the groomers, they take up most of the trail and have the right of way!
Please pull over and DIM your lights for them, they have a long night out there.
Remember, you can get off the trail, the groomer can not.
When I report “base” that is the depth of the un-groomed snow on my yard South of Sidnaw. There is no possible way to accurately report what the depth is under your snowmobile on the groomed trail, it varies widely.
Have a fun and safe trip, thank you for riding our trails and visiting our local businesses!
