Well now this weekend has sun and mid to upper 50 s BUT 6 to 11 inches hit over weekend AND 4 cast has 3 to 4 more for Wednesday ,so it is extremely hard to know if these longer days will be enough to shrink it down to rideable amounts. Do we cancel/ move a nother week later/ or just wait and see if there is a way to ride this weekend. I know when 4 inches falls without ice ,you can go ride on it if its much above freezing and it just goes away ,so if we could get a few guys on Big Wheel yammahas to try riding sections Friday and Saturday that would help I am going to check and see if I can get someone to plow the drive and part of the field . Its annoying - lots of hours work done and unless I want to look at the clutter of markings in my woods all summer I have to tear it down and then start again for fall event. Kind of like farming in 2017- More work than normal with all the rains and then massive flooding that reduced crop and income 30%

So far the forecast for Sunday is nice, but that's 5 days away and the weather in between isn't. I'd vote for another week delay if possible. If it was me, I wouldn't want my parking area all rutted up either. We are supposed to get 3" of sleet and snow tomorrow.

If it were to be the 29th that's only a week before jeffs . usually we want 2 to 3 or more weeks between events . AND 90 % of the time by the 20th of April I am full blown farming trying to make some money to live with BUT that seems to be a laughable habit .

Tough call Noel. We had over 14 inches of snow & a good half of it melted yesterday with the temperature in the low 40’s & some sun. We’re supposed to get a little more snow today, but I see Mauston is supposed to get 1 to 4. On the up note, Thursday Friday Saturday are in the 50’s and Sunday hit 60. Another key is should be around or above freezing at nite. I guess you just have to make the call & go with it.

The good news is now we should be near 60 degrees and the ground wasn't froze b 4 snow so I think we can get some rideable sections I still expect a meager turnout but people without 4 wd should stay along the drive east of cabin one time we even parked on side of the dead end roads a bit going up tomorrow and eill try to ride over as much snow as one can to beat it down keep checking web for updates thanks

Does the trials area face to the south? We lost almost all of our 2" today and I think I'll be able to ride tomorrow without getting muddy. I'll be parking on the road.

I do have a mostly working pressure washer up there if people come early and get a bit slopped up If field doesn't firm up best bet will be go past drive to where road splits turn around and park on East edge of carpenter rd or BACK into driveway if you drive giant RV -try to get north edge a bit so people with 4 wd can still get by . I will have big tow chain
