Thanks Wag for the video's. I shows the trail conditions much better than I can describe. 5T has improved greatly since I was on it on Dec. 15. You do owe us for wrecking a perfectly groomed trail. What do you think of the new playground?

If you want to track the temperatures on the Trail system type in sd snotel on your search engine, you should get a link to the SD snotel sites. click on either of rhe 2 snotel sites, Blind Park and North Rapid Creek. Click to the right of "standard sensors" on "7 days". It will give you min, max and current temps each day for the last 7 days. Blind Park is near the Juct of trails 1 and 8, North Rapid Creek is SW of Dumont.

the family and i are heading up tomarrow and are going to ride tues,wed,thurs. was wondering were some decent snow would be. either thinking of trailering to rec springs or trails head. its one of my first sons trips out where he will be rideing his own sled so it will be slower rideing. any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
Well rode around quite a bit. 140 miles. Was playing off trail at the lame 8-12 mph. Don't dare go any faster. Hit a rock at that speed and bent a A arm on the 08 Summit. Hopefully that is all I bent.
They are not grooming. Trails were actually fairly good until the way home on the 26th at around 7:00pm. They must have seen lots of traffic because they were looking like MN moguls the whole way down the trail. We went from a few 10 foot bare spots on the 24th to lots of bare spots, some for 1/2 mile at a time around the logging. I don't know why the loggers feel they have to use the snowmobile trail to access. They could send us sleds around the logging areas easy enough so we dont' have to drive across their dirt but whatever.
Not very good. Save your money for our first big 2+ foot dumping. It is coming. We are always late starters. Although this is one of the latest starts I have seen in years.
