whats it look like up north boys? worth going up this weekend or no? idk if it rained up there or not today but it sure did at my house, this whether is BS!!

NO SNOW!!! HEAVY RAIN ALLDAY!!! SAVE YOUR TIME AND $$$. SEE YOU IN FEB.

Sounds like this about the worst start of season ever.

Fuckin Mint... :div20:

Even though it rained, there is probably some good riding to be had if you know where to go. The problem may be getting there.

I am not sure how the conditions are in IP but I can tell you that it rained/poured hard all day in Central Vermont and the Mad River has flooded over its banks. I wouldn't count on the riding being any good in Vermont until it gets cold again, snows and the groomers are able to head out and clean things up.

This weather really blows.

Rain + warm temps = a long time before the streams and lakes freeze again. Even if we get 2 feet of snow in NEK, we still need very cold temps for a couple weeks before there will be any good riding.

I would no frost in the ground, = soft mud, and groomers that wont dare try to do anything till the water stops running and the ground freezes solid.

Jay, could any base be left after all this rain? if you parked at maidstone do you think would RT1 be ridable? how about north of stonedam?

trails i normally ride on are 96 or 98 or both idk wut the # is and 114 and 108 or 106 idk which, i havent been up for a year so i forgot the numbers. so i was wondering how those trails might be and im figuring now that they are frigin terrible. god damn weather :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Well, I wasn't there today to see the meltdown, but as of Sunday, Rt 1 and the surrounding area were in good shape, not perfect, but good. The base seems to be solid, alot of ice, don't know if it changed back or not. There was alot of rain last weekend and I was surprised at how well the trails actually faired.

IMO, RT 1 could still be rideable, there was alot of snow in spots.

Conditions are mint. Bring your $$$$$$$$$$ :burp:

well aint you just soooooo funny :tease:

Just got off the phone with a "resident IP rider". There is some good riding on the higher elevation trails north and northeast of IP and the mountain trails southwest of town. Jay, you are right, getting in and out is difficult. Most of the local riders are sitting tight, waiting...just like everybody else.
