As predicted our trails are bare
and muddy and we are closing our trails for the season.
We would like to thank all the gracious landowners who have
made it possible for us to enjoy our passion. Thanks also
to our volunteers who made it happen and our membership
for supporting our endeavors. Last meeting of the season
will be held April 12 as we wind up all operations. |
CLOSED
FOR THE SEASON!! |

We are monitoring the present
snow storm. Our club is a valley club and because of that
our trails were completly bare to grass and mud with thin
ice areas. We would need 8-10 inches of good snow to reopen
trails and are watching this posibility for tomorrow. However,
this would be short lived as temps in the 40s and and partial
sun starting Monday will quickly melt most of this snow.
We will not try to groom as this would be fruitless and
only accelerate the melting process of this light snow.

HUSKY has been out all week working
the trails. The little snow clippers we have been receiving
has helped tremendously to replenish our system. Some areas
are still thin and icey, others are in great shape. Forecast
for the weekend is calling for a warmup on Sunday, come
out and enjoy while you can. |

The warm weather and rain has
completely wiped out our trail system. There might be better
conditions in the elevations, but no way to get there. Weather
forcast is calling for some light snow and snow showers,
but also more warm events next week. We have closed our
trails until we receive substatial snowfall and water in
the trail freezes. Please respect our landowners by not
trying to ride until conditions improve and we can open
trails again. |
CLOSSED!! |

Last weeks snow storm was a blessing.
Groomer has been out steady after monday's repairs. The
warm weather that we are experiencing has made it a challenge
to harden up the trails but they are shaping up nicely.
Sill some thin spots on southern exposures or in some wooded
sections. Please stay on the trails and please stop at all
crossings. |

Not much change in the Orleans
area. We have kept the groomer going to keep what little
base we have as flat as possible. Yesterdays's warm up did
not help. The good news, winter storm coming in with predictions
of 10 to 16 inches of new snow. This is suppose to materialize
late today into Friday morning. Keep your fingers crossed
and be patient as this will take time and repeated grooming
runs to provide a decent trail. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE STAY
ON THE TRAILS. The future of our trail system is in your
hands, don't screw it up!! |

Spent 2 days in the HUSKY, all
our trails are now open for your riding enjoyment. This
is early season riding. We have great trails, good trails
and not so good trails. The "TRAIL FROM HELL"
is frozen with no mud and is in good shape. Groomer wil
be out as conditions warant, need more snow. Please respect
the generousity of our landowners and the hard work of our
few volunteers by staying on the trails. You can get updates
on our trails condition by also checking VAST trails page,
or on our Facebook. |

Not much change in the Orleans
area. While we may have sections that might have enough
snow to start grooming operations, our ability to get out
of Orleans is hampered by too low a snow total in this area.
WE MUST always respect our landowners and the saftey of
snowmobilers. We are watching a storm for next week that
should bring significant snow totals that will hopefully
allow us to start grooming operations and opening our trails.
Please be patient as we wait fior this to materialize. When
we do open these trails, PLEASE obey all signs. |

CLOSED FOR LACK OF SNOW |

Not much has changed in the Orleans
area. The previous weeks warm and drizzil weather has melted
most of the early snow base we received during the Christmas
holiday. Last sunday's snow event brought 3-5 inches of
new snow. Was out checking trail conditions yesterday at
road crossings, only about 3-4 inches of snow in Orleans/Irasburg
area. Some areas a bit more, but we need a good 8-10 inches
of snow before we can get going. Please be patient as mother
nature has not been cooperative. We are all anxious to get
out and enjoy but we need to remember to respect our landowners.
We also need decent snow cover to start covering and filling
ditches and ruts in the trail to provide safe and enjoyable
snowmobiling. |
CLOSED,
INSUFICENT SNOW |

We received 5-8 inches of snow,
this is very fine snow that does not pack very good. Unfortunatly,
it is not enough to open trails and begin grooming operations.
We will monitor upcoming weatherand hope for further substantial
snowfall that will allow us to start grooming operations.
Patence please, do not try to ride before we open trails,
we need to respect landowners property and trying to ride
in these conditions risk damage to your sleds. Thank you
for your patence. |
INSUFICENT
SNOW, CLOSED!! |

Although the official start of
the snowmobile season is today, the lack of any snow will
force us to keep our trails closed. They will remain closed
until we receive enough snow cover to begin grooming operations.
Pleas check our trail condition link or the VAST trails
online reports for the latest trails condition. Please help
us protect our trail system by not tring to ride until we
open the trails.. |
