Blue Mountains 2016-17

per the state:
"Unfortunately, due to extensive equipment damage, the Pomeroy Ranger District has discontinued grooming for the remainder of the season. The affected trail system is between Rose Springs and Cloverland Sno-Parks.

Pomeroy Ranger District is working to have the machine towed back to their shop and is working with the manufacturer for cost estimates and repairs. We are anticipating the repairs will cost upwards of $10,000."

What happened?

Sounds like it caught a bank cutting out a drift and bent the frame for the blade. It has to come off the mountain for repairs and being there is only a couple weeks left in the grooming season they are pulling the plug. By the time it is repaired and back on the mountain the season would be over.

Tax day ride with the family

Still lots of snow at Dayton. Watch out for the jeep ruts.

I'm glad the snow firmed up enough that you could bring your Cat back to play.

I remember a few years ago when the snow level was even with the peak of the roof of the barn. Might have been 08-09 or somewhere around there.

Glad you had a good day. Someday when we get farming done I can go enjoy it again.
