Stick to the trails


Please stay on the trails. Our landowners give permission for the trail only. There has been some off trail excursions near the Fayston gravel pit with landowner concerns.

Please respect our landowner’s requests.

I was having difficulties sending the Radar Run update email earlier. I had to cut and paste into a new email to get it to go, I left out a part of it by accident.


A very special thanks to Doug and Donna Kenyon who let us use their field to hold the event. Without their generosity and support we would not have had a race course to use.

Huntington gap Hot Dogs and some video from out west.


Take a look at the pictures of Camel’s Hump, Huntington and the hotdog roast. I think Huntington was the best it’s been all year.

I counted 35 or more folks who showed to the roast via sled or car. We had a great time.  Most folks took a ride on the way. The trails were good and the sun warm.  Great idea Reggie!  

Trails Update:
The snow is going fast or gone in the lower elevations so the fields are closed for the season.  You can still access the higher elevations from Kenyon’s and the Fayston gravel pit. The higher evaluations are in ok shape, lots of snow a few bumps; Doug happily road 50 miles today.  Doug is hoping to get out one more time, but is waiting on some parts for the groomer…..yes another breakdown.  It has not been a good year for breakdowns.  I’ll send out an email when he gets out again.

Enjoy the sunshine.

Here is something I found and I thought you would all enjoy it.  What you are about to see is some good old hill climbing fun in Canada.  Brent is running a  Arctic Cat M 8  with a turbo 14lbs of boost On race fuel. 
Seems like a lot but you will notice that his skis are off the ground most of the time. 
ENJOY!!!!!!

Hot Dogs and smooth trails

Come enjoy the warm weather, smooth trails, a campfire and hotdogs.

Date: Sunday, March 7th
Time: Fire will be ready for roasting around 12:30
Place: Trail side near the Fayston Gravel Pit.

Folks can ride in or drive. The festivities will be close enough to the pit so that people can easily walk to the campfire. This is a family friendly event. Our kids just love it.

Bring your own dogs for roasting and something to drink. The club will have condiments and paper goods. Bring something to share if you like, but not required.

See you there.

March 1st Photos and video



Wow! Check out the pictures complements
of Lenny Scofield.

Many thanks to Mother Nature at last!
Finally some real snow.  The valley received
30+ inches and higher evaluations 45+
inches… no I am not exaggerating!  Lower
elevations got rain too, but not the higher
…..…just the white stuff.

All trails, with the exception of Huntington,
 have been broken open and are flat. Many
 thanks to Lenny and P-nut for all their hard
work and hours spent.

Conditions are good, but wet in the lower
elevations.  Watch out for slush in the fields.
Higher elevations continue to be excellent!
The snow is a bit loose yet, but flat.

The plan is to break open Huntington tomorrow.
All trails are scheduled to be groomed again 
early in the week.

Don't forget about the Radar RUN on the 6'th @ kenyon's
"If you ain't first,  Your Last."


RIDE, RIDE, RIDE….. Enjoy the snow!
