What a difference..............

 I just looked back at last years chart for New Years Eve and there was only one guest at the motel., tonight is a different story.  It's not like the old days, but it sure is better than last year.  Most of the day there has been a steady flow of sleds heading to Fastrac for gas.  Temps climbed over night from seven degrees into the 20's and we stayed in the 20's all day.  Just had a guest stop into the office and said they did 103 miles today.  Overall he seemed pleased with the trail conditions.  As I was putting everything together for todays blog.  A call came in on the fire dept radios for a sled in the lake.  So for those of you that may be thinking about going on the lakes.  STAY OFF they are not safe.  Hope you have something fun planned for the evening.

Got two for you today.........

Sorry I haven't posted, it's been a little crazy around here the last few days.   Thanks to those of you with withdrawl.....it's nice knowing your missed!  We got snow and with it came lots of people....which is a good thing.  It's nice being able to pay the bills on time.   Yesterday we picked up another 4 plus inches over the course of the day.  Today I have two videos for you and I'm guessing one of them is going to upset some people and others may say it's about time.

It's adding up........

Well we got it, as I am sure you have seen.  Another nice round of  snow that has added to the base and improved the riding conditions.  I'd put the total around a foot to a foot and a half.  I can tell you this, it took me three and a half hours to do the plowing and snow blowing this morning.  The snow piles are now larger than I think they where at any point last year.

One person got it right.

The webcam I showed you a picture from is at Nelson's Cottages in Inlet.  It looks out over 4th lake right at the boat ramp.  The same ramp you would use to get on to 4th lake.  So it should be a fun cam to keep an eye on this winter.  Here is the link to it http://www.nelsonscottages.com/webcam/

Merry Christmas !

I'll make it short and sweet.  Picked up 3 inches over night and it looks like more to come.  More later.

5:00pm

Forecast is still looking good for the upcoming week and snow over the next few days.  Conditions sure have turned around when you think just last week on Tuesday the front yard was green.  If we get this next round of snow our conditions could be better than they where at any time last year.    Go figure....but only time will tell.  I'm headed out to clear the snow away from in front of the trail cam and then it's time for Christmas dinner.

Old Forge, New York Trail Report

We have a few people in and the feedback I am getting from them is, we're having fun!   Traffic has been light today again and that is really going to help in setting up the base.  There has been light snow in the air all day and by the way the forecast looks, it may be this way most of the week.  It appears that Old Man Winter and Mother Nature must be back on talking terms, because conditions sure are shaping up for snowmobiling and skiing here in Old Forge.  The trail cam has been on and off because of the snow sticking to the trees and playing games with the wireless feed.

First act is getting great reviews!

Sorry this is so late.  Let's just say it's been one of those days!  The snow started Thursday night and appears to winding down now at 8:30pm Saturday.  All in total we got over a foot of snow and the stuff that came down yesterday was heavy and wet, great base making snow.  I saw a few sleds gassing up today, but traffic has been light, which is good.  A few sleds out packing it down, but not enough traffic to tear it up.
