Question 2

Why aren't the trails open?

Accepted Answer

Most of our trails are on private land and riding on them when they arent frozen or don't have enough snow can lead to landowners permanently closing trails. Also, riding when it's too warm makes the trail base rough and when it refreezes it's difficult to make smooth again.

There are many ways that you can help. We perform the majority of our trail work in the fall. Where we need help maintaining bridges, trimming branches and working with landowners.
