Trail Conditions

Trails Closed as of Monday 3/25/13...Hope everyone had a great weekend out on the trails. Hard to believe we made it almost to Easter! Could have had a day or two more if the snow would have come a little further north this week.

Friday 3/22/13 update....We got 2-4" of new snow Thur. and another 4-6" this morning. Still light snow coming down as of 9:00am. Have not had a chance to get out due to being under the weather, but there seems to be quite a few tracks out and about. I'll update further if I get any reports in from the field.....should be good to go into the weekend!

Whoa……The season might not be quite over with yet! 12 inches of snow in town this morning with still some icy base left in the woods trails. Tri-county trails will be open today and into the weekend with limited conditions. We will still have to look at the possibility of grooming once some members get a chance to get out. The GOOD NEWS is you can ride in for the March meeting at the VFW tonight at 7:30pm. Go out and have some late season fun! Just be careful of hidden dangers under this fresh snow!

I believe the final act is over....as of Mid-Night today 3/6/13 Tri-County Drifthoppers Trails will be CLOSED. Hats off to all the people that made this season possible, we could not have done it without you! Unless winter comes back in force, I think this is it for the season, I know the Diesel tanks will be breathing a little easier, nice to able to get the groomers out there this year. We will be taking notes from this season and working to improve for next year. Still send us any notes that might help us plan for next year, can't say we can address everything, but we try. Will be planning an ATV/Vintage grass drag, and our regular fall Grass Drag in October and Winter Snow Drags next year.

Need help!! We have a Rider with a Ski-doo with a loud can that is putting trail S36 in jepordy...info from landowners is...he wears a helmet cam and sometimes wears a back pack. This is the trail the club house is on and were the groomer parks, we would hate to have to close this down. If anyone has any info shoot us an email before one of the land owners finds him. Thanks for the help......Tri-County Drifthoppers.....Oh Ya...Trails are still open..A little worn, we are waiting to see if the storm moves a little north, but we might be down to days!

Updated report Friday (pm)...Some grooming was done last night on the east/south side or Arcade and trails are in pretty good shape considering the warm temps. We got a little freezing rain while they were out grooming, than the couple inches of snow on top. With the cold weather coming we should be good for the weekend if they make it through the traffic tonight. May not be many more weekends in the mix...Watch for some gates to be up east of Rt.98N and west of Curriers Rd. due to Maple season starting, will be route around. Also check with surounding clubs as to the trail status in other areas..

1 to 2 inches of snow overnight to help brighten things up a little. Still going to be spring conditions today until the colder weather comes in over the weekend. We need the colder temperatures and a little more snow for the groomers to hit the trails aging, but it is getting closer to the end so don’t let the weekend slip away. Please check with other clubs before going off our trails!
