We are going to International Falls in 2 weeks. Will likely be the last for the season.

My butt sure was dragging today at work.
I bet your butt is dragging after that weekend of riding. That was a lot of miles you put on.

Enjoy your trip to International Falls.

For the most part they were good. There was a fair amount that needed to be groomed. Groomers were out but we just happen to be the lucky ones and pick the trails that weren't done yet. We had rode that area a few weeks ago and the trails were perfect then.

that is definitely a challenge with snowmobile trails, they never stay smooth for very long. The trail organization in Vermont has a trail app and you can tell how long ago a groomer has been on a trail. I don’t follow it. If I plan a trip I stick with it no matter how rough. But this crappy year there hasn’t been enough snow to make decent bumps. Most of the roughness is from the actual contour of the ground. Not enough snow for the groomers to really do anything with
