You have entirely different weather out there Blue !!!
Hear its rain, wet snow, snow powder if you're luck further north, and more rain/wet snow with at or above freezing so its melting behind us.
Most of my ride was done within a few degrees of the freezing mark. Most was wet snow or hard pack frozen wet snow. 25% powder when I was much further north this weekend. There are even large partial frozen ponds of water around in low spots. A groomer just yesterday drove through one break it up as far as we could see with 1.5 thick slabs floating around. A receipe for disaster if we tried to sled through it either getting stuck on a potentionally icey bottom or have one of them ice slabs get into the track and pushed breaking something. It effectively close the trail we were going to run yesterday.
Our sledding season is extremely short getting value out of an costly sled here is almost impossible without going to great lengths to go to it.
