Thought maybe we should start this up for the season.
We went up yesterday and the conditions aren't wonderful, we pretty much stuck with the roads and they were badly rutted from pickups and hunting season. I would advise no off trail travel at this time unless you know what you are doing.
There was about 10" of new snow up top. There was open water by the beaver ponds leaving the parking lot, and the parking lot was a solid sheet of ice.
Jeff went out with the groomer last night to dress up some of the roads, there isn't much to do to the trails yet. We have a section on our web site to access the groomer spot so you'll know what is groomed. great-falls-snowmobile.org
If anyone should encounter downed trees, let us know, here, their location. The groomer needs 16' clear so if your cutting, go wide.
We have a new phone app called Trail Treker it has the ability to track your ride. It really works well for either location or tracking. We are the yellow line on the example from yesterday. It will also record elevation, average speed, max speed and miles traveled.
See you in the mountains, finally.
