Hi Patty! I was wondering if you had room for two on Thursday night? Also when I was there last I bought a hoody for my girlfriend and was wondering if I could exchange it for a smaller size? She hasn't worn it yet.

welll....official yammahamer report is.....the service and friendly faces at the smoker are great, food is great, peeps are great.


As for the snow...well we went all the way into salmon yesterday and found about 6-12 inches of fresh. Chutes had more.....since then it has really cooled down here, minus 18 on the gauge in the truck this morning. snow has really set up, cant say that I have found all this powder that this place is known for yet.

Trails are fairly beat down and moguled out. I suggest scratchers bigtime...we went into vale today to purchase a couple new sets.

We are wondering where the groomer is grooming for the morning in blue......

hey kruiser....not wining or complaining....I was looking for an answer. I like it here in blue. Great people...we met some really friendly locals at the legion last night.

It is frustrating when you spend 20g plus on your sled, 125.00 a night for accomadations. 160.00 plus for a tank of diesel, numerous drinks at the legion last night....300.00plus lol.
The group we ride with supports the local scene where ever we ride. I have no problem paying the 20.00 trail fee.

Now, am I asking too much for a mid week groom of one area...

yes because the 80$ for your group does not cover the 1200$ 1 day grooming cost.

I rode blue yesterday, not great. Any untouched was settled to about 6". They need snow now and sounds like they might get some this weekend. Some buddies were in foam yesterday and said it was about the same. Still better than working...

Well probably not just his group, but they may have some cash in reserves after the holidays (between Christmas and new years) and beyond from what i have heard where the town was over compacity and not a trail was getting groomed yet still collecting? Love blue and will be heading back, but again stating facts here and have yet to see an explanation?

Riding ungroomed trails is a small sacrifice to ride without a bunch of cidiots riding on top of you. I hardly ever get to ride freshed groomed trails because I ride mainly mid week. I am just happy the groomer goes up once a week, because the trails would be brutal without them. Nevermind the fact that the grooming fees need to cover the groomer expenses, and all the administration expenses as well. If you guys all bought memberships then maybe there would be more disposable income, and the club could afford to run the groomer more often.
