Please note that the Lake Shore Savings bank will have a supply of $2 bills on hand the week of Presidents Day for all snowmobilers to purchase. The NYSSA has asked that these bills be used by snowmobilers when making snowmobile related purchases to bring to light the amount of dollars the sport of snowmobiling brings to our economy.

Trail system is open and conditions are improving. The cold weather and a little snow have allowed us to get the groomers out to smooth some of the rough areas. There is still lots of ice and some water holes are open so be careful. Some of the fields have blown bare because of the high winds over the past few days, so grooming areas have been limited to where there is snow. Some trails have more snow than others but overall conditions are starting to improve nicely. Hopefully we get more snow this week and the trails should reach a good status by next weekend.

Trails are currently closed due to rain and warm weather and lack of base. The 3+ feet of snow we received a few weeks ago is pretty much down to nothing and the current base on the trails is not enough to support riding. Colder temperatures are expected to return this week, so hopefully we’ll get enough snow to ride soon.

Trails are still open at this time but they will be closing on Sunday night because of thin snow cover on the trails. Very warm temperatures are expected on Sunday(1/24), which will require their closure until further notice. Cooler temperatures are expected after the warm up and Lake Erie is open again, so LE snow warnings could return.

We are happy to announce that Yamaha Motor Company will be at our very own CLSC clubhouse on February 6th and 7th to showcase their new snowmobiles for the 2011 season. Take advantage of this opportunity to ride some of the newest and coolest sleds on the market. These new sleds are being releases on 2/2 and have been rumored to be the first ever snowmobiles with power assisted steering. No matter which OEM you like, an introduction of something like this is a must see. As we know ATV’s have been popping up all over with power steering, be one of the first people in the country to try this new technology. We will post more details here after the models are released so you know what to expect at the Demo Event!!

Trails are still open at this time and we do not anticipate having to close them but conditions have deteriorated greatly from what they were a couple of weeks ago. Warm weather and traffic has beat up the base pretty bad and it’s been to warm for grooming. There is cooler weather in the forecast so hopefully we will be able to get the groomers out at night to smooth things out. We need more snow and cold temps to return so some of the holes can freeze back up.

Warmer temperatures have moved into the region, not good news for the base we just set. Temperatures spiked in the mid 40's today making a lot of the snow settle. Trails are still fine as of right now but with warmer temps expected into the weekend the base will start to get mushy and some holes might open back up. If its too warm please take it easy so we dont ruin the base we have. Hopefully the colder weather will return soon.

All trails are open and in great shape. Groomers have been out in full force and the snow has finally settled down so we have a very nice base. Cold temps are expected over the next week so riding should stay very good for the foreseeable future. Stay safe out there and if you are taking pictures of all this snow, please share some in our photo gallery by uploading your own.

All trails are open with more than adequate snowfall for riding and grooming. Portions of the area have over two feet in spots, so beware of things under the snow. Groomers are out but with all the powder snow and wind, it’s been difficult to get a good base going. Conditions will continue to improve over this week once things freeze and the snow settles down. Trails should be Good++ by the weekend.

Overall trails are in fair condition with the majority of snow falling south around French Creek/Clymer and over east around Ellington. Trails up north have limited snow and are somewhat marginal. Heavy snow was falling around French Creek as of 9PM.

Things are a little bumpy out there but some places are really nice. Not enough snow in some places for the groomers to be out in full force, so you’ll have some bumps. If it keeps snowing like it is now they’ll have enough snow down south to get some serious grooming done. The snow is the white fluffy kind so groomer work will not be the best but should help a little.

There are some holes out there still, but things are freezing up nicely. Trails are in fair condition with some spots being better than others. With more snow expected this week and cold temps in the forecast Trails might reach a "Good" or better status by next weekend.
