2020 - 2021 Trail Report Archive

  • Thursday/11 March 2021 – Unfortunately it's just too warm, so we are closing all our trails effective immediately, hopefully not for the entire season. We will hold out hope that next week we might get cold and snow again, but the forecast right now doesn't look good.

  • Monday/8 March 2021 – We will be closing our Southern trail as of midnight tonight from Penn Mountain Junction south. With the warm temperatures coming this week in the mid 50s the Northern trail will likely follow soon as well, but we are going to wait and see. Hope for another storm next week if possible!

Ride safely, ride right, and stay BETWEEN the stakes. We see too many areas where sleds are going off trail. Stakes mark the space we are allowed for our trails. Anything beyond that is cause for landowner to shut down the trail. Also, we have already received a complaint about litter on the trail. If you bring it in, take it home with you!! We need to comply with these rules or we will lose our trails.

Ride safely and enjoy the beautiful scenery out there with the snow laden trees. Truly a winter wonderland.
