Hilton Sno-Flyers

Our club meeting this week, Wednesday the 22nd, has been moved to Pinewood County Club. Bar opens at 7:00, meeting at 7:30. Pizza and wings will be provided. Thanks. HSF

All trails are currently closed.  Just a reminder, riding on closed trails is trespassing. Please respect our generous landowners and stay off their property.  A quick thanks to all the volunteers that spent countless hours trying to get as much trail open and safe as possible.  Thanks!  HSF

Quick Trail Update. Temperatures are in the 40’s across our entire trail system. Trails to the North are deteriorating fast while trails to the South are holding up a bit better, but expect bare areas and some water. We may have to close trails in the North soon. Stay tuned. – HSF

Wednesday’s club Meeting is canceled due to weather.

We are opening trails on a limited basis. We have cleared a lot of trees, but we still have some blockages and open water. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! There still may be hidden obstacles.

Here is where we are at-
Trails from Mumford NORTH to 104 are adequate.
The trail is closed and Impassable between 104 (Ridge Rd.) and Lawton Road.
Trails NORTH of Lawrence Road are adequate with reported low snow in some fields.
There are 3 large trees across the trail at the Hojack RR bed.
Trails from the railbed to Hamlin Beach are closed and blocked.

1.The earliest date local trails could open would be December 21st.
