Snowmobilers check this thread to find current riding conditions and information not to hear the latest in trail business bashing. If you want a thread to bash trail businesses start one but leave this one for helpful information and current conditions.
Business to avoid and ones worth supporting are pertinent trail information in my book.

SDSNOWCOP, I just found this thread and GREATLY appreciate any and all information you post regardless of topic. This could be my last winter in the area and I want to spend as much time as I can riding this hills this year. It is a 6 hour drive and I have limited resources so I need to make the trips count. Thanks again!

its always nice to know where the pitstops are and what to expect from the food and the people there. its part of the ridiing experience. just don't need to badger a bad situation that seems to be a thorn in the back side at trailshead. snocop does a great job keeping us all informed about trails. I drive from 400+ miles to ride and really like the info on trails and a tidbit on food. not bad knowing if you may get head bit off if stop somewhere just to be aware of situation but don't just hammer on it. love the forum. thanks snocop!!!

I have not been into Deadwood lately. I ran into a group over the weekend that rode out of Deadwood. They said it was ok. I rode into Lead and Mystic Hills today, no problems except for a little thin the last 1/2 mile into Mystic Hills.

Mid 30's tomorrow then turning colder. Teens to twenties for a high and single digit lows. Chances of snow Wed night through Friday morning with the best chance Thursday night. I have not look out beyond a week. I barely trust the forecast 7 days out.

I know asking that question is a little early we will be out on Saturday the 18th.

Rode from SCR over to cement ridge LO and down west side to Buckhorn Friday. I’d say most places got 4”-6” with some up to 8” of fresh Thursday nite. Breaking trail almost whole way so not many people here, imagine that will change Saturday.
If out here , keep look out for my black hard case and prescription glasses. Had to get them out bag to get at tools at cement ridge LO and on trail 3 about 4 miles out of Buckhorn. My guess, they fell of seat onto boards and somewhere on the way down from cement. We were parked right by toilet.
Thanks Larry. 507-841-0891

I have not been all the way into Deadwood but I was as far as the Kirk Trailhead (junction 5 & 7) Friday. Trail was good then and received more snow on it Saturday.

Thank You Duane . If there is snow on needles and highway 87 is it ok to ride a snowmobile on them. I see that 87 and needles is closed in the winter at 385. I see that sylvan lake road is open. I do understand providing there is snow on those roads. I just didn’t know if it was legal to trailer down there unload and ride them roads.
