Salisbury Ridgerunners Trail Updates

6 to 8" of snow, trails were being groomed today and some tonight. trails are in excellent conditions, still ridable ,but not the greatest due to lack of snow and wind blowing it off is barto hill to the ice house. to get to ice house with a good ride take S81CUT ACROSS TO C4D . one of the best scenic rides there is. also that we have snow a trip to gorge view lanes is also a great ride with the possibilities of seeing wild life (deer & turkey)

We received 6 - 8 inches of lake effect last night and today. The trails are in very good shape and local members are reporting the best conditions of the year. Some spots still have a few slush hole but they will freeze up tonight. Don't miss a great ride!

most trails has been groomed today, exept for stratford and jerseyfield. we had snow today instead of the rain and hope we get more snow to help out the lower end towards the valley

6" of snow saturday evening trail are good shape. trail C4A, Club to Stratford was groomed at midnight. Also C4A to Barto Hill was groomed last night, then they groomed to the Rod and Gun Club, to Dopp's, back up the tracks from Dolgeville to Ridgerunners finishing up around 11:30 pm. C4 to Norway will be done in the morning. Trails are FAST so be careful! SOME RIDERS STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO GIVE THE GROOMER THE RIGHT OF WAY, PULL COMPLETELY OFF THE TRAIL AND LET THEM BY. WE CANNOT GET OFF THE TRAIL OR TRY TO SQUEEZE BY YOUR SLED.

trail being groomed, lot of traffic today because of the poker run. trail from barto hill to ice house is in bad shape ,showing bare spot. drive with caution,be prepared for obstacles. ( Ron, I was not able to post this report in time before the Poker Run. I sincerely apologize for the delay.)

I had expected to hear by now from the Trail Boss on the conditions of the trails. Like so many others in the club, he does have other financial obligations to his family that come ahead of volunteer work. The following trail report is based on my observation. It is not hard to guess that the trails are in rough shape in areas, due to the lack of new snow, warm weather and the amount of riders. Snow is expected next week, but this weekend temps are going to very mild so whatever snow we do get, will just be replacing what we had. Poker Run will go on, regardless of the trail conditions. If you can't take your sled, you can use whatever means of transportation you would like. As soon as Ron is able to let me know, or he gets a chance to post it himself, we will update again.

I will be posting a new trail report later today. Seems like the two that were sent have been lost in cyberspace. That happens sometimes. I expect that they will make an appearance in April.
