Great news Dave. You are one of the lucky ones. BTW, why wouldn't you have rode the Green Trails East of Dwight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzleboy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 That makes sense, for CLOSED trails.

That section, or a portion of it, is always last to open, there is a long swamp area that usually beat up more than smooth....but with the cold, I am surprised that it is still Red. Perhaps there is another reason for it being Red, possibly the ATV / snowmobile clash or something else. 10 hours ago, DAVE said: Just got an email from backcountry rentals.....they have given me a full refund for my sled rental for sled....including the day I used it for....and free day if I want to rent again....that is pretty dam good of them and more then I expected....would definitely rent with them again....great people to deal with.

I also believe right along that trail is the dividing line between the two clubs....maybe one groomer says to himself, "the other club will groom it", and the other groomer says the same thing...
