After heavy snow and winds all night long we ended up with no more then an inch of wet sloppy snow. All of the trail signs have been removed from the Village and we can consider the Village trails closed. There is still some diehard riding to be had in Perkins and the Tree Farm but that should come to a quick end w/ the mid week temps. Both Groomers are parked for the season and unless there is a dramatic change in the weather we are done grooming in Speculator.
Even w/ poor snow conditions we totaled 205 hrs / 810 miles of grooming this season.
A big Thank you to all of our groomers this year ... John B., John N., Paul A., Big Mike and Aaron.
Thanks guys, job well done!

Jessup River Wild Forest UMP 2010 Amendment
The recently issued amendment 2010 draft amendment to the 2005/2006 Jessup River Wild Forest Unit Management Plan has a number of signifigant negative changes. NYSSA is very concerned that the are trail closures that are unnecessary under the guidelines and as a result will isolate users and businesses who have historically had access to the trail system. The amendment should have leveraged the Class I Trail guidelines to preserve access by residents, visitors and businesses.
Your calls, e-mails, and letters are needed to preserve trail access to all snowmobilers.
If you utitlize the example letter, it is critical that you personalize, edit and add your own comments on this matter for your letter to count.
