Old Forge, NY Trail Report 2-10-12

At 1:45pm it's starting to cloud over. I just looked at the radar and it looks like something is starting to form north of here. All depends on which forecast you look at, they all are calling for snow, it's just a matter of how much. I included the video from Tuesday, that I forgot to download, in today's video. Some guests headed towards Brantingham yesterday to see how far they could make it. They ran out of snow just after the turn off you would take to go through confusion flats. As I've been saying, it is what it is, roads are toast, but there is trail riding to be had. They might not be perfect, but it's better than what most areas have to offer, nothing. If anyone has an update on Moose River Plains please post it or drop me an email so I can.

Here's Today's Video for........

  1. Hi Fellow Snowmobilers,

    I came up on the chance there would be more snow. Anyway, I came up by myself, the family isn't with me. A few others canceled today and aren't coming up.

    I just finished my work for the day and Im looking to see if anyone is interested in possibly riding Saturday if we get more snow or if there's anything going on here.

    Would like to go grab a bite to eat and a few beers, just by myself this weekend.

    Thanks for your time.

    1. I doubt a ski falling off had anything to do with conditions.

    1. If you wore down your skis you must be one who rode bare roads, don't check your sled before,durning or after you ride. Besides you would wear the carbides before the skis. Yours is a BS post.

  13. Thank you for the cameras and reports, Steve. For you people who are too dumb to know you're riding in the wrong places and tearing up your sleds, stay home! Steve posts good information, videos, and pictures, so you have no excuse. "File an insurance claim", yeah, right.

    For the faithful, Hang in there. this is still NY state in February. You know there's got to be at last one or two good blasts of snow coming yet this winter.
