Stay safe out there friends!Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to summer. Our trails are Busy, Busy, Busy! Remember our trails are mixed traffic, which often means 1 lane trails with 2 way traffic!! Trail Traffic will be very heavy during times this weekend so please be safe and DO YOUR PART to keep the trails fun and safe! We do not want to scare anyone, but YIKES this is a reality and can happen.

Here are some things you can do to practice good trail etiquette...

-Use your hand signals to let those passing know how many are in your group behind you!

-Turn on your lights! This helps with visibility especially in the common dusty conditions in the area.

-Run an off road flag. This is not required but can be helpful in letting others know that oncoming traffic is coming over a hill.

-Keep right! Once again the trails are mostly mixed traffic meaning 1 lane with 2 way traffic.

-Take every corner like someone is coming! We hope you take our word that at some point some one could be or will be! Be especially cautious in single lane corners.

-Watch for deer & other wild life. In recent trips out, we have encountered MANY deer, especially in the early evening hours. Watch for them just like you would on the roads. It will hurt way worse hitting one on the trails.

-Be prepared. You may not have an accident but you could roll up on one. Consider carrying a fire extinguisher, 1st aid kit, extra water, phone chargers ETC. It can make all the difference in the right circumstance. If you do see an accident or need help of course call 911!

-Check on fellow trail riders who may be in distress, offer to help if you can.

-Wear protective gear like helmets & eye protection (It's for your own good!!)

-Pack out what you take in! If you can take even just one extra piece of trash out with you that would be great too! Just think of the impact if everyone started doing that too.

-Please keep negative comments off this post it is meant as a PSA, to promote safety, and not bashing one type of ORV or another. Thanks 😀

We might have to add a sled to our logo.

That’s Siegel in the background. We skied a few gullies south of Siegel and got our sleds up to the saddle that separates the two high points on Siegel. There was 4-5 feet of snow east of Siegel in the big valley on the backside. ...
