With less trails snow won't setup with traffic either. I find less places open Monday, Tuesday typically. That only leaves Wednesday Thursday and half a day Friday before it's gets a zoo again. 

Let's get this party started early, shall we? We need some positivity around here, and in the world, today. Forecast has a slight warm up but, barely above the freezing mark. We will start making ice very soon. Here's to a good, safe season, for all of us. Ski 

I think some areas will suffer a lot more than other areas, always been tha way but it’ll just be magnified this year.  weekday riding may just be a whole lot more advantageous too!

I agree and understand. That said, I personally could easily separate the two and be okay with that. You can support your friends and the club without supporting the rest of it if you're not in line with certain things. Keep your efforts limited to the type of work that helps your friends and the club. Certain tasks/work needed to be done for the "man", excuse yourself from it.   You can still support your friends and the club without supporting the rest of it IMO.                  

deaals on used are so good right now. I wish I needed a new sled
