Sidnaw / Bruce Crossing Trail Report – Sno Valley Riders Snowmobile Club – 01/30

Groomer Report:

We are grooming our regular schedule now, every day. The trails are overall GOOD with a couple areas in FAIR condition. There are some thin & wet areas to deal with but they are getting better. Watch for some large wet spots on trail #3 between Bruce Crossing and Rockland, you have plenty of room to get around them with a snowmobile and none are very deep and most of that trail is very nice as you get farther North.

The 6th Annual trailside hotdog cookout will be held on Saturday the 4th of February. Stop by at the clubhouse in Trout Creek along trail #8 and have a hotdog on us. We will also have wonderful homemade cookies, coffee and hot chocolate. We usually are up and running around 10:00AM and will go until around 3:00PM, conditions permitting. This is a thank you from the club to the riders for coming to our area!

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 FAIR – GOOD. Some wet and thin spots to watch for. Much better on the North end.
Trail #8 from Ewen to trail #3 North is GOOD.
Trail #3/8 East from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 South intersection is FAIR with some thin spots.
Trail #3/8 West from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 North intersection is FAIR with some thin spots.
Trail #3 South from the railroad grade to the CC road is FAIR.
Trail #8 from the trail #3 South intersection to Trout Creek is GOOD.
Trail #8 from Trout Creek to Kenton is GOOD.
Trail #8 from Kenton to Sidnaw is GOOD.
Trail #8/15 from Sidnaw to the trail #109 intersection is GOOD.

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!

Paradise Area Trail Report – Paradise Area Night Riders – 01/30

January 30, 2017

11 degrees this morning and cloudy. We only got a light dusting of snow last night…..sure could use a foot!!!

Groomer Loren ran the Pine Stump trail #8 yesterday but I never heard from him so I can`t give you an honest report on how it went. I can assume it went good but that`s just my gut feeling cause this trail is high and dry.

I took just a groomer with no drag into the Falls trail #45 and set up a detour route around the nasty water hole that opened up. There are a couple of new stop signs with direction arrows on this trail temporarily until we can get this fixed. I worked this hole for a couple hours until I ran outa snow to use to plow into the holes.

I think Groomer Dave is gonna run south today but not positive on that one. He will by-pass the swamp. We just can`t do anything with this section until we get more snow. The cold temps will help though. The thing ya gotta remember is with the recent snow melt the water levels are high in there!!

Bout all I got fer ya`s today. Sure could use some snow.

Groomer Chris
