Greetings Sledders,         We got about an inch or so overnight and into this morning. I know that it’s not much to get excited about however all we are looking for at the moment is enough for lube and cooling. The reason I say that is because it looks like there’s a fair amount of bonding going on with… Read More >

Greetings Bobsledders,           Looking back on the 18 years that I’ve been doing this I can say that we almost always encounter some ice on the trails after a typical January thaw.  Some being the operative word in that sentence. I have never seen mile after mile of ice like this. Generally speaking there will be… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         It was my turn in the seat this morning and I got a closer look at what’s going on with the trails south of 72.         We have lots of ice as expected and the conditions are fair to good for the moment. I say for the moment because of the traffic and what… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         Reports coming in from the drivers are positive. The trails are looking good. There are bound to be some wounds left over here and there from the Spring type weather we experienced but I’m told they are minimal and I’m sure they will heal as more groomer passes are made. So I think it’s… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         At least I got the salutation correct. Sorry if I offended anyone with the Sliders gaff to open the last report, didn’t mean to relegate anyone to that of a downhill tuber.         I’ve been waiting for the latest typical January weather pattern to get behind us before reporting as conditions have been changing… Read More >

Greetings Sliders, As one would reasonably assume the 7 to 9 inch teaser snow we received got beat down pretty good on the heavy traffic trails and held up fairly good on the lesser traveled segments. We have two Sliders in that rode to Lewiston and back today and reported good rides. The warm up… Read More >

The trails are open, but grooming hasn’t started yet. We are just waiting for enough snow to groom. My wife and I have been riding a little around Lovells, but only to get our sleds tuned up and ready for the real snow. FYI Caid’s grocery in Lovells does not have gas at this time…. Read More >

Greetings Outdoor Enthusiasts,         Well it was cold. That’s about all one can say about the months of January and February 2018. They were just an extended cold snap.         It’s time to wrap this up for another season and as I type this I’ve come to understand that downstate is supposed to get yet another round… Read More >

Greetings,         Not my typical intro I’ll admit, but there’s not much sledding going on in this area right now, or from what the forecast is showing, in the immediate future either.         According to said forecast in the next 10 days 3 are supposed to be just marginally below freezing, 2 are looking like rain and… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         Very quickly, those that were in and we had a chance to talk to said they had better than expected rides. We obviously like to hear pleasantly surprised as opposed to bitterly disappointed.         Ice seems to be the general consistent topic and it will continue to be an issue until we get real… Read More >
