Monday AM 8-March-2010

The sun, warmth and heavy weekend traffic took their toll over the weekend. The Speculator inner village trails, Page Street Trail and Fish Mountain trails were rough and reportedly skanky to bare in many spots this morning. Perkins Clearing, Speculator Tree Farm and Powley Road still hold plenty of snow, but grooming will probably be hit or miss with the spring conditions.

BOTTOM LINE: We are on the cusp of die-hard season with no cold or snowy weather in sight. Until we get rain, the lakes remain in play. But you need to keep a lookout for weak ice/open water near inlets and outlets. People are removing their ice shanties, so beware of cinder or wood blocks frozen in the ice. Hitting one of those at high speed would ruin your day!
