But will there be any snow??? I suspect you haven't done a lot of grooming this year, really looking forward to trying out your trails. Got a brand new two up yamaha that we really want to try.

 

[Andoo]

Is this the typical stage area the club uses, if so could you you send me the GPS coordinates so I can add them my master stage map please?

 

[imdoo'n]

it is held by the caroline elks club not the sled club. staging is at phyliss lake, 15kms west of caroline. groomed trails? good luck on that one, thats funny. let us know how ya like it.

Pretty skimpy on the snow, not sure I'd pay to wreck my track and sliders ACK!!! We need a freak storm, c'mon larry do your snow dance HAHA Looks like it may be a Quadding event only!

 

[imdoo'n]

it is just at the too much snow for quads just not enough for sleds. we have a week or two to see what happens,

 

[kokanee 800]

Are quads allowed? was out ice fishing Phylis on Sunday and dont think there is enough snow. yes a snow dance is in order.

 

[imdoo'n]

quads are allowed. they can be a pain, screw the trails up real bad and stuck at every hill. luckily the sleds leave them behind within a 1/2 hr or so. they should stage the quads a hlf hr after sleds just to keep the trails rideable. quads chew it down to bare ground rather quickly. hope for snow.

 

[kokanee 800]

well the old tnt's better show up early them because i am thinking a rodeo of quads.

 

[imdoo'n]

this is usually a good ride, not much safety flagging etc. creeks may be open, bridges a little shakey. they should spend a little time on flagging danger spots. it's not a race but speeds can get up there if they have some snow.

 

[tex78]

thinking they might have to change it to a atv one

 

[imdoo'n]

yes looks like only a major snowstorm will put enough snow on the ground before the event. don't see many snow clouds overhead.

 

[poorboy]

any updates still on quads should work

I talked to one of the organizers yesterday...he said the trails still looked good. There was one or two spots that were a little thin, but the trails were still a go. Too much snow for a quad.

are you sure about this? haven't been that way in 2 weeks plus, there was still snow but with the temps can't see there being much left other than ice.

ya ya ya what imdoo'n said???????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[kokanee 800]

I spoke with a contact in the newspaper he said last tuesday there was 8" of snow. It was warm all last week also, so he said if your staging with quads leave around 11:00 to let the ski-doo's go first, i mean snowmobiles lol.
I would think a tad more than 8 inches but i guess either go out and scout or bring both
see ya there on a quad.
