Z- Jan. 2, 2006 If this was the middle of March & you were desperate to get in one last ride for the year, you could go on the pipeline and ride back & forth. But if you needed food or gas, you would have to ride on ice & half bare trails to get some. Do you really want to beat your sled up before the season begins? Be patient! We will get some snow. This is a file picture taken when the snow was better.
