All of our trails are done for this week. Hopefully the forecasted warm weather will be kind to our trails and we will be able to groom next week.
Riding along with Trail Groomer
Today I went with one of the groomer drivers on the West trail. This is an interesting ride with a passion for laying down a nice trail. This is a very slow ride that can get tiresome with the bumpy trails especially on the plowed fields. I have to thank these drivers for dedicating their time to making excellent trails for us to run our sleds on.
While riding in the groomer tractor I could see myself driving my sled down the trail zipping along.
For me , I prefer a set of handle bars in front of me and give it gas and go as fast as I want. What a great feeling you get from snowmobiling.
Grooming is a slow process to make rough trails of snow into smooth excellent trails.
Was out yesterday with our sleds and had to stop at one of our map sponsors for refreshments
