Another great weekend of riding! Might have been one of the best – locally at least. So much snow up in the higher terrain.
Keep an eye on our site and Vast map as things will likely change fast. We expect we’ll need to close the valley trails soon. Lots of bare spots already and with temps warming up later this week, any snow that is left isn’t likely to last long. Riding should remain decent up high though as there is a ton of snow!
…WINTER STORM WATCH NOW IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING… * WHAT…HEAVY SNOW POSSIBLE. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO 10 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. WINDS COULD GUST AS HIGH AS 35 MPH. * WHERE…THE WESTERN SLOPES OF THE GREEN MOUNTAINS, AS WELL AS PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN VERMONT. * WHEN…FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS…TRAVEL COULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO HAZARDOUS AND MAY IMPACT THE MORNING AND EVENING COMMUTES ON FRIDAY. STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS FRIDAY NIGHT COULD LEAD TO SCATTERED TREE DAMAGE AND ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES.
Please mark your calendars for this year’s landowner’s dinner. It is scheduled for Sat., 4/27 at the Clear River Tavern. More details to follow. What a fantastic season we’ve had – hopefully it’ll last a few more weeks. We have much to be thankful to our landowners for, so we hope you’ll join us.
Got out to ride some of our trails and Chittenden today. The bad news is that our best riding has come and now gone. The good news is that there is still good riding. I stuck to the Michigan area today (National forest trails on our side of Carmel and Bloodroot) and the trails have a solid base still. There’s more ice and there are some bare spots but overall the conditions we’re quite good. Soft down lower but hard up higher. Once things are groomed, they should be good. Chittenden was more of the same with a few more bare spots and really hard packed. Enjoy it while you can!
Riding is not recommended at this time given the warm weather and rain. Wait until we get back to some colder temps tomorrow. We also need to get out grooming and we will be doing that as soon as cold temps return tomorrow evening. Best riding this weekend will be Sunday.
When you do venture out, please use caution as this warm up has caused a lot of melting and we had areas that got washed out back with the rain in January and they could be impacted again. If you come across any hazards or poor sections of trail, please inform us so we can update the map.
Just a reminder that our next club meeting is on Thursday, 3/14 at 7 PM at the Clear – or come at 6 PM and join us for dinner first.
Our trails continue to remain in great shape. Another great weekend ahead. Sundays weather is questionable. Hopefully more snow then anything else.
Trails remain in good shape and we’ll be grooming this week as we can. Should add a little more snow overnight tonight as well! We should have another good weekend of riding!
If you get out this week, be aware that there could be limbs/trees down. Any help you can provide by clearing things from the trail is always helpful!
Our trails are great right now! All our trails North of town we’re groomed tonight. We’ll get everything else groomed over the next couple of days as well. Most sections have plenty of snow and are in great shape. Some sections still have some wet spots, but there aren’t a lot. Even the trail by the Wall at Riverside is greatly improved after we filled in what we could with snow and pulled a drag over it. Get out and enjoy some riding!
We groomed last night and again this morning. We covered most of our Michigan trails (that’s the trails towards Chittenden and we also go out to RD59 towards Barnard this morning and to services. Overall conditions are really good. In areas, there are still some wet spots and some bare spots. As always, use caution. Have fun out there!
