But most of the main trails are snirt, dirt or ash.

From Daikers past Eagle Bay there was plenty of snow. It was snirty but there was no scraping. It was groomed each night. From Daikers to the start of trail 9 it was much worse. Grooming was not going to help that section but still no sparks and no high temps. For those that say there is not enough snow go to the hill.

Spent the previous week in Quebec so yes I know what snow looks like. I was surprised to see as much snow as I did reading from this blog. My wife a daughter enjoyed themselves very much. I hit pretty much every trail and found more than enough snow. Sure the snow is tired but the few inches here and there are keeping things decent. Yes 4 was bumpy and I'm guessing not being groomed to preserve the base? Trails 2, 3, 5(along 28), 10 all good. Even getting in and out of town was good. I did see snirt from time to time but my sleds did not seem to mind. The only place I saw I temp light was on a lake. If you want to ride like you stole it there are better places. If you want to enjoy what's left of winter you most certainly can do it in Old Forge. Over 1,200 miles so far and all I've done is add oil and gas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806599526531129331.post-30106781116533898212015-01-27T08:41:17.169-05:002015-01-27T08:41:17.169-05:00Everybody gives reports on trails 5,1,2, which are...Everybody gives reports on trails 5,1,2, which are normally bad.

Watching that race reminds me of myself taking trail 4-A to 4 from my camp in Hollywood Hills to the inner trail system. Anybody who watched the race and uses that part of the trail system knows what I am talking about.

You are down to dirt. Not snirt, DIRT!! I have no idea what everyone is talking about having enough snow for slide lube. The inners have plenty for that but not nearly enough for good grooming. Huge holes. Thats OF trademark for the last 5 years. Hole galore. MRP was the only good riding over the weekend. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
