Mulleyville Snowmobile Club

The trails are hard and fast. The are lots of washouts to jump up out of nowhere and get you so take it easy. There is a very solid ice base now under the 3-4 inches we got.

A few things to look out for (refer to the map for intersection numbers):

1) S84 from SR09S to SR18S is closed due to logging activity and a 3 foot deep mudhole that’s about 20 feet long. Do not attempt to ride this trail. I’m lucky i made it through only getting stuck 3 times.
2) C8A from SR09S to lake desolation remains closed due to land owner issues. We expect to reopen it for next year.
3) C8 and S87 from SR05C to SR06C are extremely muddy and rutted. The trails are open but ride at your own risk and get the car wash ready. We have not started grooming over there yet (alpine meadows area) and there are trees across the trail. Hopefully we’ll be able to whip it into shape over the weekend but i wouldn’t count on it. Continue riding S86 in the meantime. It’s in good shape.
4) There’s a giant water hole were a culvert was washed out on C8 near the sacandaga club intersection use caution as it keeps getting ice dammed and can be deep. We’ll be trying to fix it but be careful. It’s marked with Caution Ahead and Caution signs so if you see those slow down! We dropped a culvert in it and filled it with snow.  There’s no sign of the giant water hole there anymore.  Thanks George!

In further response to the inquiries i’m getting re trail conditions , it’s warm and wet on the mountain . The trails that were oustanding on Friday are bound to take a hit today and Sunday . The water holes that were manageable last week are bound to become bigger and muddier today . Once again we need the temps to drop , so that things may tighten up , and the groomers can work their magic. I know that some of you guys are coming from out of the area and / or have time off and want to ride . Unfortunately , the forecast is not in our favor this weekend. The second part of next week’s weather looks to be better and we will be out repairing where we can . Please ride safely .       Bob

A few things to point out and remember while riding.

1) DEC / Park Police have explicitly notified the club that they will be out strong this year patroling our trails. Please make sure you have your registration and Insurance up to date. It’s likely that they will be patroling Fox Hill Road as that has been an area of some complaints.

2) Fox hill road is a ROAD. When riding you MUST obey all traffic laws. Stay on the right side of the road. Ride Single file, The speed limit is 25 MPH. Do not ride in the middle of the road. USE COMMON SENSE! The Town is watching and if we can’t follow those rules we’ll lose the road.

3) There are a few beaver dams on the trails this year. They are pretty well frozen up but be very careful crossing the ice.

4) The trails will still have a lot of water on them as it’s early in the year. Use caution as you never know when a mudhole will pop up and get you.

Have Fun, Ride Right, Watch out for and Yield to the Groomers, and BE SAFE!

Thanks
The Mulleyville Trail Team
