does anyone know if their is snow up that way for the shootout an on the trails used to be able to ride the trails up their on snodeo weekend. if so how much is their? was wondering if we should bring the sleds up with us for the weekend.

Trails will be marginal at best, still no base.

When does new york trails open?

pen mountain not till dec 20, i think tug hill officially opens this sat, old forge starts sat.

If we get lake effect they are calling for trials could be rideable.

Around Hi-market they opened on the 5th of December. The flat track groomer was out yesterday panning the trail from the Quick & Easy Up smith rd to the north rd.

Old Forge trails opened up Dec. 5, saw groomers going out yesterday.If we get the foot of snow they are forcasting for today and tomorow we will be riding this thursday. :banana:

I just booked my room for Saturday night in Old Forge. I'm pretty confident I'll be able to get some good riding in Saturday and Sunday.

I was told there is about 1 foot on the ground and they are predicting a total of about another foot over the next two days. The temperature is well below freezing (teens and 20's) all week so there should be little chance of it all melting.

This is only my second season but that sounds like enough for me to get out and enjoy it. Besides... I only have 26 miles on my brand new sled... I'm going!

Anybody have a favorite spot for cocktails Saturday night? :beerchug: :beer:

I'll be at the Old Mill Saturday night. Nice bar there.

I'll second that. A real nice bar & they put on a great meal as well. I'll be up there Fri. night thru Sunday, so I'll probably take a run down to the Old Mill Sat. night too.

Great... I'll make sure to stop by Old Mill.

You'll recognize me easily.

I'll be the one with an Arctic Cat hat and a beer in my hand! LMAO!

what is this snodeo weekend? worth the 2 hr drive for me?

I can't ride sled this year.. but I am driving to any events that are good

You will probably be the only one there with a Artic Cat hat on, and especially with a beer in your hand? imfao

:beer: :beerchug: :celebrating: :drunk:

i'm going up friday for the shoot out and prob. take the family up sat. for the snodeo/show....

are any of you guys going to ride your sled to the shoot-out?? Will there be enough snow ??

to the best of my knowledge the old mill is clsoed

I'm riding into the shootout. I don't have all day to ride so I'm going to trailer to Alder Creek and ride from there.

Wouldn't you know it. This is the first time in years we've had a decent snow fall for snodeo and I can't make it. Thats just not fair.

No you don't need an Old Forge/Inlet permit to ride in Woodgate ,which is where the Snowgoer shootout is! :beerchug:

Spoke with one of the ladies at White Lake Inn tonight and was told they don't have very much snow at all. I live about 30 mins away and we have almost 2 feet...Not sure if it will be ridable all the way to Woodgate

Old Mill is Still Open. Old forge web cam www.oldforge.net

You can go the the DMV and tell them 1 fell off, had to replace hood or something like this and they will issue you new ones. Buddy of mine said that his was free after one of his last year did peal off.

You can get the old sticker off using a heat gun (but becareful) and the glue comes off using a bug and tar remover. It might even come off using wd-40. Just try it some where underneath first just in case. Hope this helps.
