1st prestigious WOTA round coming soon to a town not so near you !!! Im heading there today get an idea how much snow left us on the one day of spring we had the day of the bomb cyclone- also look for tree destruction from 60 mph winds. Will report. BUT 1st setup will likely be march 30/31 or for sure by April 6/7 . NEW and exciting this year - some sections may be designed by a National Pro champion . Anyone wanting to get involved please post here or call me at the end of the month. Cheers

AFTER A WALK OF MOST OF THE PROPERTY HAPPY TO REPORT THERE ARE LIKE NO TREES DOWN IN PLACES THAT RUIN TYPICAL SECTION SPOTS. I DID SEE A NEW HIGH LEVEL ROUTE TO TOP THAT ALMOST HAS TO BE CLEARED AND ATTEMPTED . MAN ITS STILL TOO COLD EVERY NIGHT. THE SOUTH SIDE STILL HAS A 50% COVER OF A FEW INCHES OF HARD SNOW -NEED A WARM RAIN SOON.

OK back from a week vacay noe planning when to go to the rock to start stringing ribbon . Last year I actually walked most of the ribbon on the hills with snow on the ground(actually better than froze or thawing ground) but I thought what with global warming we will never have to do that again WELL WRONG here we are gonna be pounding stakes into frozen ground unless the rain later in the week is warm.. anyway Ill post if im going up Friday and Saturday of this week Checking forecast it looks pretty crappy for riding or anything sat night 18 degrees after RAIN AND SNOW FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MAY BE THE 5-7TH THAT MOST WORK IS DONE -ONLY NEED 8 SECTIONS FOR A 1 DAY IS THE GOOD NEWS

I was in Mauston Friday April 5th, happy to say it's PERFECT. No snow, no ice, parking lot is dry and firm. And Noel is a beast riding up those rocks.

Not sure what he means we didn't ride much anyway yeah its real nice---NOW weekend looks OK but now there is a mixed wet bag of garbage for midweek forecast Oh well we will figure it out I have a nice log chain for pulling out 2 w d trucks or? going to need riders to come Saturday and ride sections backwards to snuff out the wet snow that may fall Also need to thank the following bodies who put in some setup time over the weekend _____//// Doug Hay Ed Pohleber/ Jamison S. Kevin H and dave and Keith Johnson.

although forecast isn't great is seems the stateline may be way wetter Sunday than up by the Dells 20 or 40 % chance some precip and most of it likely late Sunday =hopefully remember sandy not greasy slime rides best damp Also bring a little CASH I think Phil may have some stuff for sale and I did a little barn cleaning found some non current Sherco parts ready to sell reasonable $ a 2010 new bash plate an older olle or paoli rear shock foot brake levers etc.
