I was out today then later this afternoon when my son got home from school. Rode a total of 2 hours, but the poor trails and the snow sure has taken a beating from the rain storms! Another season is coming to a close.. grr!

We lost all our snow over the last week :( Kinda sucks lol Oh well even record breaking winters have to end eventually. Although we are getting a really light dusting right now so who knows maybe that will turn in to something. Fingers crossed :sled:

Winter is still trying to hang on here. I got a few miles in today riding the ditches and tree lines. Hard to believe that I was planting sugar beet this time last year!

I was up on the Minnesota North Shore a couple of years ago at the beginning to middle of April & they still had an excellent snow pack. Lots of skiing going on not sure about the snowmobiling but looked like a strong possibility. Be a nice late late season retreat.
