Driftbuster Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hey all just wondering if anyone knows how far out elmira is from opening the trails around there.(5-81 and 5-83) Seen a bunch of tracks and looked like the groomer had been over stuff just don't want to ride closed trails. I'm assuming it'll be any day just getting antsy. Have been wanting to ride the sled to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see the difference as you come down b203 towards St agatha. Seems the most snow is from baden over to Stratford and then north abit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talked to guys in Elmira and they had electric shields that didn't melt ice off. I have never had an electric shield, I use the Doo modular and works good.

Sledguy74 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 40 miles of perfection this evening. Freshly groomed all the way to Bridgeport and home. Only saw 5 machines. Clubs doing a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric won't melt ice off, only keeps condensation away. Only way to fight ice is to carry antifreeze in a spray bottle and spray it on shield as needed and wipe with your gloves. Helps allot but isn't perfect either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
