vt_bluyamaha54 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Looks like you are finally getting a big storm Jean-Guy - also lots of wind! Same storm left about 25-30cm here in Vermont. Also windy like hell. Very nice grips the mechanic added to the Gilbert tracks! Now you can go anywhere.

smclelan Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 It is looking like the low snow areas are starting to fill in up there now!! Yes, the one with the little cabin is a nice picture. However picture #3 it looks like the trail hasn't been groomed in a very long time...perhaps the operator has been hanging out at the clubhouse flirting with the waitress too much!?!? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
