April 26 ride to Summit

Keep an eye on the weather forcast for Summit and Cantwell. It's not looking pretty right now.
According to Ian Hegdal last weekend in Summit was beautiful. Snow was good in the morning and got soft in the afternoon. He said you needed LOTS of track/machine in some areas including Moore Lake and Gunn Creek when things got soft. I would say it would not be a ride for the faint of heart or the trail machine. Betting on a good ride for the advanced mountain kind of guy if the weather cooperates. IF its snowing or overcast may as well stay home, to dangerous.

We ran into the same problem in cantwell last week ..started at 10am and by 4 pm it was a tad mushyy..
If you decide to go let me know I think that me and my rmk 159 can have some fun even if its the last ride of the year.

It's a definite "maybe" for us! Would love to go, probably the last ride of the season for us too, have to watch the weather though.

26th ride

Definitely watch the weather. Doesn't look so hot right now. To expensive to drive down and not be able to ride due to low light. As of right now I'm leaning towards staying home and summerizing the sleds.

Greetings folks,
I just looked at the weather cams for Summit Lake and Cantwell. Nasty both ways. I'm going to write off my losses this year and stay home. Therefore the ride has been cancelled as a club ride.
Thanks
Dean
