Snow

Sunday I went for my first snow ride of the year. Our clubs trail administrator and I went out to cut some downed trees off of our trail system. Upon arrival at the tree we were at enough elevation for there tobe a dusting on the ground. Despite telling my wife "I'll be right back", we headed up into the hills for deeper snow. Once at the height of our trail system there was 3-4" of snow. After three hours of slipping sliding and laughing my heated grips quit (again) and it was time to head home. Yesterday we got three inches of snow in town and my thoughts have been on nothing but another ride. I'm going to find someone who wants a quick ride before the family shows up for Thanksgiving and head out. If this year keeps on like this, it could be time for me to get tracks! Snow riding is the best!

Come up anytime! Our trails are only closed from the time snow melts until May 23rd (Mud Season). Shoot me a PM or just post up. My clubs trail system grows by 100 miles with snow cover.

May just take you up on that idea.
At least you guys get snow. All we are getting is cold rain. :crybaby2:

We now have almost three feet of snow up here. I've been so busy plowing I haven't even ridden my wheeler in a week, that's unheard of for me. Winter grooming has begun but some trails have not even been touched yet. White Mountain ATV Club and Mount Moosilauke ATV Club are trying to put together a weekend ride over the winter. We are working with the New Hampshire BOT to get permission to run a section of trail through Franconia Notch that is closed to us. They usually let us ride it one day per year. If we can pull this off there will be well over 100 miles of guided trail rides through the White Mountains on this weekend. When we get the date from the State I will post the ride. If you never winter rode this will be an event not to miss. There will be plenty of lodging in the Lincoln-Woodstock NH area. Ride to food and gas. While the section of trail we need a permit for is small, the scenery is breath taking. Franconia Notch is where the famous Old Man of The Mountain looked out over the notch until 2002. Last year over 150 riders made the trip.

Sounds like it is going to be a great ride!
