HORRIBLE END to a great day and a new sled…

Was a hell of a great day of riding. Then just a mile or so from home going around a corner with my sled on my trailer for perhaps the fiftyith time, I suffered a CATASTROPHIC failure of the trailer side plate where the sled is bolted in… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just throwing it out there, if you can deal with some cheesiness these guys do a pretty decent weather report for the Island Park area.

Sorry, but until more snow falls, trail grooming will not take place in Fremont County. The operators did a test run at Big Springs on Wedesday, but found conditions less than stellar. At least two feet of good, wet snow to operate a groomer safely.

a bit of history, the latest grooming has started was December 28. That was approximately 20 years ago and, fortunately, the snow season turned out great!

Too far to drive the sleds out for ****ty conditions. The crew is too nervous. Already cancelling rentals. .

I don't think there will be much of a CROWD at all.

Will be eager to read your reports if you post any. Even though I Don't think the group can be convinced unless a lot more snow unexpectedly materializes.
