Thanks for posting skidoo55,

I'm from NH and probably never will ride in CA, but it is great to view pics from other states and see what the riding is like!!! Apparently, you have the trails all to yourself, as I see no one else is posting about what looks like absolutely beautiful conditions in California!! I haven't been paying attention to the national weather reports much lately, do you still have most of the 4 to 8 feet of snow that fell 3 or 4 weeks ago?? Again, thanks for posting, enjoy the trails!!

Rusty

Thanks Rusty

The parking lot has been full most every weekend and some ride during the week. Currently we are in a warm up period and have lost some of the coverage. About 5 feet left at the higher elevations, 1 foot or less at the parking area. Possible some more weather coming in this weekend?? Today it was 75°F in the valley where I live. It's about a 40 mile drive up the Serria Nevada mountain range to get to the trails groomed by the club. There are also surounding clubs that groom trails also.

I lived in the Upstat NY area belonged to EZ Riders in Westmoreland and have friends that live in the Tug Hill area, if you have ever listened to IROC radio show pod cast from Big Frog 104 that is him, and have ridden those trails. Could ride from my yard to the trail system. That is why I came to this site is to maintain my envolvement in what is going on with the trails etc in the Northeast. I have gotten Lee to talk to some of the people out here to provide comaprison to what effects us all for the sport.

Hope you had a great sledding season!!
