The kick off of the sledding season starts this weekend with Snodeo and yes it will be going on even with the lack of snow. However I am sure the demo rides have been put on hold. But the Annual 120cc & Kitty-Cat Races are on, starting at Noon on Saturday. As you'll see in the video we had a great start going and then we lost it all. On the bright side we are getting some frost in the ground. So when it does start snowing it won't take long for it to pile up and yes it will snow.
Coming up tomorrow for snodeo... Wish we could all have the first ride of the season its still early just itching to get out like everyone else! Bring on the SNOW!!
ReplyDeleteWere in town now and its chilly but no white gold... Will see something over the weekend....

Hi Steve.
ReplyDeleteGreat job again.. Wish I could be there for Snodeo but I have to work. I'm saving the days off from work for when we have snow. Keep up the good work and good snowmobile spirit.
Stu
looks like a slower start than last year. 10 day forecast is not looking so good. The earth in definetly changing. Warm weather, huge destructive storms.
ReplyDeleteThis season is off to a better start than last year. Where have you been? What weather forecast have you been looking at? It shows a steady decrease in temps. They are going to change overnight. Knock on wood!
DeleteDon't wake Dom up, let him keep dreaming.

ReplyDeleteSteve did you put in a pan tilt zoom cam cause i saw the bridge then the beach and now waters edge hotel! Very cool now we just need some snow flying on the cams!
ReplyDeleteHi ACZ1turbo,
DeleteGood eye! Yes, I installed an upgrade to the cam system at the info center and was playing around with it when you saw it pointed at Waters Edge. I'm not sure if I'm happy with it yet. But it is for sure an upgrade from the system that was being used.
Steve

Steve
Being realistic there isnt much of december riding left todays the 9th and 4th lake is liquid trails bare no cold weather in the forcast until the 21st a good base and frozen lakes dont happen over night 2nd week in march oldforge basically closes the doors THAT ONLY LETS US ABOUT 10 WKS OF WINTER TO RIDE lest face it the weather is not what it used to be even 5 yrs ago SAD SAD SAD because the drinks at DAIKERS are excellent and with out STEVE AND CHRISTYS MOTEL i would have nothing to do at work all day haha JUST MY 2CENTS WORTH GOD BLESS AND PRAY FOR SNOW
ReplyDeleteBro I bet this winter has A warmer Avg then last winter.. I got my entire lawn full of sleds to sell for my brohiems..
DeleteWere all buying Bikes and will do rt28 and rt30 rides up north in the 10 months of summer..
You are right,it better happen soon or its over. The outlook is not good. Old Forge has got problems, 2 dept. that are spending money and going in the hole. The town needs to make some changes.
DeleteWORSE THEN LAST WINTER..........

Wow!!!!! This sucks, I am not happy after reading that. Hopefully January can bring in the white gold. Thanks for that link.
DeleteGuys Better go out and BUY TRAILERS. IF YOU WANT TO RIDE THIS YEAR YOUR GOING TO NORTH CANADA TO FIND SNOW
ReplyDeleteNext 15 days here in NY wont make snow or Ice..
8 weeks at best of winter!!
Ive been reading some longer range stuff as well. Polar vortex and yada yada...Seems like there will be nothing to ride on in OF this month. If this continues I'm gonna consider packing it in for good...too damm expensive and too frustrating to say the least.
ReplyDeletePissed in PA !!!
Try Being in the Snowmobile Service and Sales Side of Things.. What was selling the past 2 months was for a loss or break even to clean up last years inventory.. Nobody needs a fresh service cause they didnt ride or ride enough to wear it down in a few hundred miles at best..
DeleteNow we got All the dealer doing a DUMP A SALE ON THE WEB!!
Winter is coming! Colder temps after today and the snow will follow. I would rather have a slower start and then have Old Man Winter pound us mid/late December and ride until March. Watch out for that December 20th snow storm. That's my prediction. Weatherman out...
