coolbane Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 I did 200 km in there today. Conditions were better than I expected. Mostly a decent base under the fresh snow on all the main trails. I like side trails but they were not groomed, rough and with water in spots in places. Many low branches, don't put your new visor on yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the first time that the actual trail conditions were better than what the website said! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually enjoy the side trails better, unfortunately one of my favorite little loops will not be opening this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side loops that they Groom with alpine are most fun. Going up that big hill is a blast but when one time I had a guy come straight at me, going up wrong way. Ahhh lucky it wasn’t Icey and be stopped and rolled back down backwards to let me thru. Few that was a close one.

I remember when I was very young on my unstuded Phaser trying to go up to the Lookout, pure ice and slid backwards 20 ft right into my old mans new sled. Great times. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great times. lol Years ago I use to run with a studded track. Near Huntsville on that d101b and I came to a quick stop to allow traffic thru. And my buddy comes along and can’t stop no studs banged right into me. Only damage was a few scratched bumpers. Ever since that incident I always stop more slowly and look behind me. Sure enough when we got to our destination that night. These two guys showed up. One guy had his rear tail lamp all smashed and carbide rips on seat. He stopped to take a look at a moose and his buddy was day dreaming and hit him at like 40 mph or so. Eeeeck.
