well grew up here in the NE, and last few yrs have been terrible on riding, most trail systems near me, , last yr didn't even open, due to almsot zero snow
and then this yr, even with record cold weather, and even snow in many places, it just didn't fall in places the trals really were not opened, and IF it did, it fall on trails, a few days later would warm up/rain, and destroy any base or hope of a great season, thus closing the trails again, think the main trail system near me(almost 350 miles) was maybe open like 20 days the whole season? and of that, maybe half was on decent snow?
mean while all sorts of parts of PA about me got buried with snow, but no trails there! or maybe a mile or 2 of a small loop trail, that is what a 5 minute ride and then uness you want to drive it over and over ??
living here in NE PA, I learned if I wanted to ride every yr, it meant a lot of hrs towing a sled to find snow
a shame as we yrs back had rather reliable snow condition yr to yr,(used to put on a 1,000 + miles a tr on local trails) and had tons of great types of riding from many many miles of groomed trails, rolling hills, to bigger fields to play in, to old coal mning roads and loging roads, and state owned lands
now it seems like anything BUT a marked trail is off limits, and not staying on trail just closes even more land, IF we get the snow to be able to ride
everything is posted now a days
understand it, but miss yrs back when you could ride older dirt roads when it snowed and folks didn't get so upset!
you folks that live in snow every ur places and have such libral rules to play on with off road atv's sleds and such, are so lucky!
so day I hope to be able to retire and move to such a place!
so enjoy what you have
some day maybe I will too! LOL
