TOO MANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS are in the news this year. Many are alcohol and speed related. We want you to have a great time on our trails here in Big Snow Country, so please use your good common sense and save your drinking for after the ride.
ICE: Let us reiterate, there is no such thing as "safe" ice.
If you choose to ride on a body of water, be sure you check with locals in the specific area you intend to ride and get current information on conditions in that area. When you ride on ice, you are doing so at your own risk.

PHOTO REQUEST from us. Thanks to those who’ve responded…keep ’em coming.

We have been getting a little snow daily and riding has been prety fair and TV 9 and 10’s forecast sounds like we are going to get some more snow tonight 2-26-10, with accumulations of 1" to 3" and more snow on Saturday, but with any forecast I’ll believe it when I see it. If we just get even a few inches, we will be in pretty fair shape. As long as you have realistic expectations of the spring like conditions, you should have a decent ride. Remember spring is coming and the snow will be going soon, so ride while you still can. What’s nice around here, we are in the middle of six different grooming clubs, (which we are members of four) and if one club isn’t grooming today, one of the other clubs are grooming today, weather permitting.
