Worst year so far in Wyoming County NY

Guys;

With 5 days left in February, I've rode a grand total of 28 miles for the season. I think Wyoming County's trail system has been open a grand total of 4 days (or perhaps 5). We went riding one Sunday - January 27th I believe. The conditions were deteroriating during the two hours we were on the trails. By the next day - trails were closed and have been pretty much closed since.

Letchworth State Park, also in Wyoming County, has a wonderful series of trails. They've NEVER opened the trails here since the start of the season. The telephone hotline still refers to the trails being closed on December 23rd(which was the first or second day after hunting season ended - when the trail system can open)

It's now been 4 weeks since I've ridden - at most we'll have 4 weeks left where we can potentially ride. I'm paying $170 a month for my sled, $100 for registration, and $220 for full comp and collision insurance. Jeebus - not even 30 miles. I'm totally depressed and disgusted

Well boys, we FINALLY got some snow - looks like enough to ride! If Letchworth Park opens today, I'll be riding tonight! The "Window of Opportunity" won't be long - they're already predicting highs in the 40s Monday and Tuesday. This could be a reaaaallll condensed season.

I had to attend a conference 3 weeks ago in Saratoga - I noticed that there was significantly more snow out your way that what we've seen in WNY. I was envious!

You must have had a lot of snow out there - the trails in Letchworth Park were BEAUTIFUL today!

Soft, to moderately packed - still some powder. And great, WOT riding conditions - minimal amounts of bumpiness.

It's amazing - one good afternoon of riding, and all the depression over the bad winter up to now dissipates!
