Snow Report
 

OK, so this forum has been dead for a while (guess not much boating going on in LG right now)....Well, to keep things going I thought that I would start this thread so that I can stay on top of the conds and get ready for sledding season. Anyway, heard the area got some snow...how much?

If we can't talk boats, might as well talk sled :ernaehrung004:

By the way, i am heading up this weekend to get some chores done...if anyone is available to meet up let me know....I spent last weekend at the 1/2 Mile drinking with the bartender and his girlfriend (the only people in the bar) until 3 in the morning......could use a change of scenery from that.

got a foot thursday night

Nice...I heard it was a decent amount but I didn't realize it was that much. Heard there was rain in the forecast for today though....but it's supposed to get colder so we'll see what happens.

4-10" tonight into tomorrow. Hopefully it's closer to 10" Possibility for a big storm on Friday too I hear.

Im ready to ride :cool:

Nothing yet. Supposed to start at midnight

Got about 5in-6 inches at the house so far..not sure on town. Supposed t keep going though.

Friday and Sunday may be big I hear for snowfall??? I am going to try to get up there Friday night to ride somewhere on Saturday before I head to a holiday party in the Troy-let.

Friday is supposed to be a Noreastern. Should be great this weekend.

Hey...I like Troy...lol jk :drink:
I should be riding next week with Jim jr if your around

Won't be around next weekend (I have a wedding), but I am leaving today after work and will be up there all weekend and I will also be up there from the 31st to the 4th. I'm hoping for some big snowfall amounts this weekend to set up some good riding for the rest of the winter!!!

I may try to make it up for a ride on Saturday. After that Jan 2-4...

Gimme a shout when u guys come...Im in for some sled action

Expecting 6-8 tonight

So far theres been enough for me to road ride 6 miles to my house, probably about 5 inches on the raods, maybe 7 total today?

There is so much snow up there! I left CT at 6:30 am on Saturday and was on the trails by 11. We rode from 11-3:30 and then I had to put the sled away and head to a party in Albnay at night...talk about a long day. Chris and I broke the buttermilk trail from the top of Prospect to the Hudson river. The powder was so deep we had to stand the whole time and muscle the sleds through the powder. I dont think I turned the handlebars once. 500 feet from the end of our 60 mile ride, I must have hit a big branch under the snow. It hit the left ski and made the sled go HARD right. The bars were ripped from my hands and I went tumbling down the trail. My cat tried to climb a tree...made it about 5 feet.

Most snow I've seen up there in Dec in a long time!! Next trip up is the 31st throught the 4th

That sucks Pete. Sleds are registered as of today..maybe wendsday well head out.

Johnny, do you know the trails over to Brant Lake and that area from my house or Padinarium

How did the trails hold up? Any first hand reports?

From another one of my sites. Another rider's report.


Decided to give SW a try yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. The groomer guys did a great job preping the trails for the big meltdown. Just about everything was groomed prior to the warm weather and the rain. When I showed up yesterday, driving up Rt9, the first thing I noticed was semi fresh groomer tracks crossing the road near Roaring Brook/Transfer Station. SW even Groomed some after the Rain & Thaw!

Did 61 miles on the trails. They were not perfect, there were some water holes here and there, but I have driven them MUCH worse in the past. From Luzerne, C4B, was groomed post thaw, up through Wilkie and Butler ponds, back to the transfer station. Prospect was hard packed & Ice. No pavement except for the top parking lot where there was no snow at all... GREEN. Even did the back side of prospect. This trail was very hard packed, and there were the usual washouts, but like I said I have seen it worse. Butermilk and the river trail was sweet like always. Some of the smaller trails varied and by 2PM the hardpack was started to loosen up and I noticed the corners starting show dirt.

In the end I was was happy, but I prepared for the worse. The guys in the groomers did a GREAT job with what they had to work with.

Indian lake, Ole Barn was awesome today

Not all that well. My dad might,Doug Johnson,Bruce Malory Jr and those guys know it best over there.

Trails were pretty good this weekend but they could use more snow. Hopefully Wednesday's storm stays al snow to cover up the bare spots/pebbles.

Should be good on saturday :drink:

Snowboarding was aweful tonight. If that helps??????? Havent got on a sled yet. Prospect had a few trucks at the base.

Anthony, break 'em out!

Coming up for this weekend as well...

We are supposed to get somw snow tonight. Im going to pick up a couple sleds tomorrow. Keep me posted. I can ride just let me know what day/night.

Hey Pete gimme a call, we might be out saturday. Got enough snow last night so that school is closed. :drink:

It's looking like this weekend is going to be a boys only weekend so I think we should be able to get some good miles on. I should know for sure tomorrow.

Oh yeah Anthony give me a call if you want to meet up and ride 203-644-2801

I will call you on Saturday morning after we run a couple errands. Also our 98 XC 700 is making a "popping" sounds so we are goign to drain the gas and replace...hopefully thats the problem.

How much snow so far? Has it changed to freezing rain yet? It looks like LG is right on teh snow/mix line right now.

I'll be up there no matter what....need to pick the REV up at the shop Sat morning. Looks like the trails will be in good shape. See everyone up there.

S far about 4 inches of rel heavy stuff has fallen. Its sleet now but its starting to go back to snow. Supposed to be 8 be the end of the day. We'll see.

Nice! Please give an update when it's all done.

It was freezing rain most of the day, turned back to snow about 2 hours ago. Its slowing down though. At the very most id say about 5-6 inches, really packy stuff though, nice base.

That should improve the trails a lot, especially with the COLD weather coming in. I will give you a call on Sat AM to see if you want to meet up/ride with us.

Sweet, should be good riding this weekend!

How frozen is Lake George? It had just started to ice over last week I think, should def be frozen enough to hold the winter carnival this year hopefully.

A good part is skimmed, some of huddle is thick enough for people..someone already went for a swim :drink:

Meeting up with Chris, Pete, Jimmy and a few others tomorrow.. Il let you know how it is
