    We're still able to ride from the house here but need some snow really badly. Taking the ol lady to Mont Valin school vacation week since she's a teacher and I had to get a Condo on the mountain since riding in and out of Jonquire is bad right now when usually they have 5 feet. So far this isn't worse than 2011-2012 season for me, but if winter ends the same way that one did this season will win the worst ever award...

    We usually do decent in these setups, hoping for 4 inches to give the drags something to work with after this Ice completely locked down our base.
  3. TheMainer
    Looks like a good setup! Did you guys build that yourselves or have someone make it for you? My next big want is a brush bar for the drag to help trim face slappers as you groom since I haven't met a club that doesn't like theirs

    You should have a good weekend up north, took yesterday off to groom another 60% of our system, just one more trail left to do the other guys are packing today with sleds so we can take the groomer. Hopefully ride 200 miles Saturday, full on winter fun!

    Closing in on 7 inches from what I can tell measuring in a few spots to average, still ripping out there. Very Happy with this storm so far.

    5 inches total currently of fairly fluffy stuff, still coming down, picked up and inch in the last hour, wood fire is ripping along nicely and enjoying the flakes. Let's see if we can squeeze another inch or two based on the radar, looks completely dry 25 miles south of here but nice steady snow to our southwest it appears
  7. TheMainer
    1/2" of snow here, starting to come down more steadily, been lightly falling since Noon. Hoping we still get our 6+ as I've already teed up to take off Thursday to go grooming
  8. TheMainer
    Got the groomer out today on one trail, real close to being good on the rest, 6 inches and I think we'd be opening the rest of the system
  9. TheMainer
    Snowing probably close to inch and hour rates, perfect time to run to Greenville and get her some new snowmobile gear and lunch, hopefully we get another 4 inches and I'll be perfectly happy with this storm.
  10. TheMainer
    That's what I want, If we got an exact repeat Sunday and Monday will be full 10 hours grooming days opening the system, I'm gonna bet lower though with only 4 or 5 inches and get half the trails open hopefully

    Radar says we've been in rain for a bit, was snowing up til about 2 mins ago as it had flipped back the past half hour, nice Wintery morning out there, two towns up the old man said they had about 9 inches when he left at 5am so guess closer to 10 by the time it's all said and done. Good starter storm for sure.
  12. TheMainer
    The snow definitely blew and drifted around a bit here last night, I'd say 7.5 inches and is now pinging sleet with freezing rain mixed in. Now to minimize the rain damage coming to the pack. This is real man snow for sure, about the ideal storm to form a base, if we repeat this Saturday we're in business!

    Where do you guys usually go? We had ol trails last year that weekend, it was the coldest day of the year February 4th, -20 and windy and we rode 200 miles, only saw 8 sleds all day and had to cut 10 trees, but trails were glass smooth
  14. TheMainer
    What we call the mountain is Russell mountain about 6 miles west of Monson, extensive logging road and windmill road network that's interconnected over 1,000 feet of elevation, gets snow early and keeps it late, almost over to Moxie Pond near the Forks. Ton of fun messing around up there early season with multiple loop possibilities, only need a foot to make it fun and rideable without grooming
  15. TheMainer
    You'll definitely need to get used to it since REVs corner really well and flat I always thought, but once you do you'll wonder how you ever rode a REV chassis with the big advancements in suspension and ergonomics. I rode my 500ss 14,000 miles, bought a 2014 back when I graduated and kept the REV as a backup, sold it soon after cause I just couldn't ride it anymore.
  16. TheMainer
    If we get net 5 inches Wednesday and net 5 Saturday planning to ride Sunday up on the mountain to break in the new sled, 60 miles of logging roads just poking around and cook a hotdog over a fire
  17. TheMainer
    GYX WSW saying possible 12+ near us, CAR saying 5-8 then rain, hoping GYX is right, they usually end up a bit more accurate than CAR
  18. TheMainer
    We're a bit southeast of the mountains, but hoping it works out here, can't take anymore rain at this point. Nice snow squal going on as I'm driving up to give the boys working on the groomer some parts, only nice thing about a delay to winter is we're getting a bunch of preventative maintenance done.
  19. TheMainer
    The year I snowmobiled until the last weekend in April?
  20. TheMainer
    The state threw some emergency funds at clubs that already got swept up, but looking at another pool of funding coming supposedly to fix washouts and bridges. We've checked half our system and so far so good, but the two bridges I'm most concerned about I'm looking at tomorrow. Hoping they're still there as one is close to 40 feet long
  21. TheMainer
    That really sucks for you guys, those VT hills picking up speed and funnelling water is no joke. Here is the brand new bridge in Strong Maine they built gone again.
  22. TheMainer
    Oh yeah for sure, further south in Maine or no ITS trails I think we might see quite a bit of trails closed. Around Franklin county they were finally recovering from this spring storm with all the bridges and trails washed away, probably gonna have to do it all again...
  23. TheMainer
    Gonna try to walk/drive all 34 miles of our trails this weekend because if we need to bring in fill or rebuild a bridge we got to do it sooner rather than later if we want to be snowmobiling this winter, what a miserable stupid storm, I wish it was November instead
  24. TheMainer
    Currently almost flooded completely in here in the great brown north, luckily we live on a hill and currently have power, but only one way out of town right now since the river flooded over everywhere else, think we're past peak now though. Highest flood ive ever seen in my 32 years, worst since 1987
  25. TheMainer
    Hopefully we will be!
