The studs do a job on the asphalt. I'm sure whoever pays and maintains the railtrails can't be happy about that. But I have ridden the unpaved railtrail from Boscowen to Lebanon many times (60 miles) and it's a great ride. These trails are becoming very popular with the dog walkers and bicyclists. Unfortunately alot of the funded money come from federal and local funding. Sleds are going to have a tough time getting use of any paved portions of any of these trails.

Thanks Keith for all you do. PRR always has top notch conditions. Unfortunately with that lack of snow, it confines all the riders in the northeast to the same small area. You get all the riders there, good and bad. You can usually spread them out a bit around the state. Thanks again PRR for doing the best with what we had.

51 years young here. Still riding with my 29 and 30 year old sons which makes it fun. My dad retired a couple of years ago at age 72. He was riding an 07 mach Z X 1000 at the time. He didn't slow down much over the years. He really enjoyed riding with his son and grandsons. My kids miss riding with their "Pop"

I work near Culley's. I drove by as they were loading all his crated and uncrated sleds on flatbeds for the return to Skidoo. Stopping by on my way back, I asked what was going on. He gave up Yamaha last year, and now was all done with Skidoo. He says he will still be open, but you wouldn't know it from looking around inside the showroom. He plans on buying/selling used sleds, service work and stripping sleds for a salvage used parts business. He claims he wasn't making enough on the new sleds to justify the money he had to lay out. I'm sure a warm winter like this didn't help much
