Snow Report: Mar 5/11 BIG POW







UNBELIVEABLE! This is our trail! We had to blow snow yesterday morning with 4inches at least of new snow overnight ontop of all we got this past week so that delayed our departure to ride Alexander. We were so late that we decided to go mark trails for our guests instead. We boone docked right from our yard the entire way to Corbin AND BACK. Yep we spreadout and that left us fresh snow on the way back as we got the big bombi to widen our trail. Curt had never seen snow like this on our trail (I have a couple of times but it was amazing).
Top photo is on the way back on the B cut off to B road - we rolled it to get it out and you had to be on the pin - no slackin. The second is me walking very gingerly small steps up to help Curt roll it out (a few steps back I sunk to my hips and was crawling on hands and knees) We are laughing cause we are so tired - feelin' old. Third is me stuck in that little pasture right before the curve at Corbin staging area. This is the first stuck - shovelled like I have not shovelled in years (I was at least 5ft deep at the back end - down to the sugar layer) then I slacked off coming out of the pasture when Curt went over the handle bars on his....hilarious...and got stuck again! Warning - don't bring that friend that you have to always dig out right now - the snow is too deep! LOL Bring only those who dig themselves out. We were laughing that we were so brutal we got stuck on the trail 3x! LOLOLOL - we never even went up into the ALPINE! - had to have a scotch when we got home!
Will have amazing news from the top - Curt and Cooper went out today so you know Cooper and that means Limestone - we say it often but it is just such a great all round safe yet challenging place to go - its a sure thing. It is a good reflection of what the snow is like out there too.
March is turning out to be more amazing than it has been in our 5 years here and some are saying since the early 70's so if you can wrangle days off to come ride then get out here seriously - I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. Hit it before it decides to start raining. It will be good later too even with spring warmth and drizzle but right now it is perfect. We have openings as people usually book when it snows at this time of year and not ahead of time so call us for a cabin. You won't regret it. OH - its -2 today and clear skies. Cheers and be safe - V
