Any one ride paulina lately

[mthood]

Going over to bend for the winterfest. Is it worth taking a day sledding up to Paulina?

I was there Saturday, we almost didn't go since it was warm and had been raining. Really glad we did, started out on trail #2. It had been groomed the day before and had about 3in of fresh snow on it. Was like a freeway and really fun to ride (i like corners). Did some playing in the play areas and it had a hard base with again about 3in of fresh. Rode up to the East Lake over look and there was about 5in up there. Was a perfect blue sky day with no wind. The only thing that could have made it better would have been 2ft of new snow. Trail 4 was a little rougher but not bad. We had lunch at the lodge and raced up to the Paulina overlook. Never had to put down the scratches and really had a great ride. The play areas could use a couple of feet of snow (like everywhere else) but all in all was a great ride. If they get any more snow this week i would definitely recommend going.

We were there two weeks ago and had a great time on the rollercoaster and hell hole. With the new that Donald mentioned and the forecast for this week, I would definately bring your sleds.

We are taking our sleds. I guess there is a winterfest happening in Bend. Should be a good time

Paulina 2/14

We started at the lower lot 6 and ran into alot of ice. The upper snowpark would be best until there is more snow. It was a good day. This is my first ride at Paulina. Tons of rigs and trailers but surprisingly we didnt see many other groups on the trails. That was nice. Winterfest was a dud.
