Houghton TY Ride - Conditions?

[Eagle1]

They r calling for rain and the temps in mid 40s. My buddy just come from that way and said the trails were in poor shape. I dont think there will be any snow left after the worm up and the rain. Just letting u guys know...

May have to call this trip off then I am still planning on going in that area someplace to do some testing....

Sounds like Greenland/Mass picked up 3 to 4 inches today so you should be able to hit some trails.

Some of it looked really thin - some of it not too bad. I guess on the bright side, it's hard to get rough, mogel-out trails without having much snow.

Glad you got out to ride though! Thanks for the pics/vids.

Did you all find enough snow to ride in houghton area or where did you have to go to find snow?

Yes we rode North Sat and Sun, Road south Friday... not to bad considering the crappy start for the year. See the photos and VIDs?

Yeah I saw them... Just didn't see anywhere for sure if they were in houghton or not. Might plan something in the next week or two. Extended forcast here is no snow until. January.

It was low snow conditions but still fun. We all need more snow especially the UP.

I cant promise that.. we did see a lot of exposed rocks, you just have to avoid them... but if more snow flies it will just improve even more.
