    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    The year I snowmobiled until the last weekend in April?

    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

    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.
  10. 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...
  11. 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

    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
  13. TheMainer
    Hopefully we will be!

    Got to put 20 miles on the ol lady's sled running around the pond ice fishing today while waiting for mine to come in. Lot of the local lakes have 5-8 inches of ice now which this downpour won't touch so at least we'll be fishing next weekend even with bare ground around.

    All I want for early Christmas present is a 60 mile shift southeast!
  16. TheMainer
    That looks ideal as a bad cutter could get here, 0.5" of rain and temps stay in the 30s and we'll still have a base
  17. TheMainer
    6 inches here so far in the middle of Maine, still snowing. Might go out on sleds this weekend to cut some blowdowns since we had 3 inches of icy crust before. Too bad about this weekend, this was a good start
  18. TheMainer
    Got a new (to us) groomer to try out this winter, we still have an icy crust left, hoping for around 6-8 inches so I can drag an old bridge into a big water hole to fill it and get out and cut blowdowns on sleds. New sled hopefully will be here before Christmas. Definitely feels and looks as though we may break the trend of the past 3 crappy winters hopefully.

    We're saddle bagging from the house to the Northern Door in Ft Kent for a 3 dayer that Friday through Sunday, back through the woods via St John River and Churchill dam, hoping for a whiff for sure cause we'll already be pushing it on fuel Sunday! Could be a really good March for snowmobiling, our trails are in great shape, will be better after we get this storm and Thursday groomed out. Hoping we can ride from the house til March 24th like a normal year since it started so late.

    Interesting snow hole over Lac St Jean in Quebec, been riding there a few times and it's always a bit skinny compared to all other directions from there. We ended up with 5 inches, compacting in the warmth (~33.8F), but should give us another good weekend of snowmobiling
  21. TheMainer
    Snowing nicely here, hoping for 4 inches to give me something to work with in the groomer tomorrow night. 11-12 is the earliest id ever been done snowmobiling in middle of March after that 80 degree stretch. Only one of two winters in my past 19 years of riding I didn't ride in April at least once.
  22. TheMainer
    About 5 inches of sloppy snow here, thinking it's just enough to still get the grooming done, was really hoping for 8 inches. Usually we're in the snowbelt up here and never have these issues...
  23. TheMainer
    Around 20 degrees here, radar looks to be filing in but nothing getting to the surface yet. Gotta be up somewhat early for work so I can groom later tomorrow afternoon and all day Friday (assuming this doesn't fall apart). Bout to take a weed gummy so I conk out and don't stay up all night worrying.
  24. TheMainer
    Fingers crossed this verifies then the whole region will be snowmobiling and get some money into the businesses
  25. TheMainer
    Got about 4 inches here, happy with that as it was about right in the middle of the forecasted amount, hoping for 8 inches Thursday and we'll have our whole trail system open for this weekend
