Here's a link to the snowmobile trail map. 2A is the hill of my driveway, and part of 2, towards the snowmobile club from 2A, is part of my driveway too.

Hmm.. 4 1/2 hour drive almost seems worth it to tackle your driveway.

What time frame are you looking at? I'll have to put in a pass or leave, but it should be doable.

Now that I have a job and some money again, I might be able to make one this year. Though I doubt my craigslist $80 used michelin tires will claw up your driveway this year!
What was the name of that little hotel I stayed at last time Dixie?

Ok folks, throw some dates out there. I can do any weekend. Way too short notice, and might not be snow, but should be some, I could do either weekend around Christmas too. I think we might have picked a holiday weekend before. I don't get Presidents day as a holiday, but some do if that helps to make a long weekend.
Todd, last time you stayed at the Sweden Valley Motel, they changed the name, and now are part of the Sweden Valley Inn, which also has decent food, anyway this is the same place.

I'll be home next week for Christmas, all week. Looks like we'll have a white Christmas too. Snow coming in Friday through Sunday, maybe see a little sun Monday, then more snow.

Ladies are always welcome at my place. My wife will be there.
What we did last time was meet for an early lunch/brunch/late breakfast on Saturday. Then we drove up my hill, and took photos in the snow of our Patriots. By then it was dark, and a couple folks hung out with us for a couple drinks, then left for their cabins. I think they got together at the cabins for a few more drinks and some cards in the evening.
I'm pretty open for anything.
I'd love someone to bring a sled (snowmobile) and run the trail. And there is a ski area nearby too. And the PA grand Canyon is nearby, but not a lot to do there in winter. In summer you can fish the creek or raft or canoe the creek, or hike the trails, etc.
I do have a fire pit out back, for a campfire, but don't use it much in winter. I also have a pistol range in the back yard.

Well, just found out I have to travel to DC on Feb. 16-17, so that weekend is out for me.
Plenty of snow to play in now if you folks want to do this soon.
Here's a link to the snowmobile clubs snow-cam:

You'll also see an add there on the page for the Sweden Valley Hotel and Cabins, which is where folks stayed last time.
We could try for the weekend in January that the snowmobile club is having Vintage snowmobile races.

So I thought it would be easier going up my drive last Saturday, since I put tracks in the snow leaving the Sunday before. But when I got there, no luck, drifting snow and snowmobiles made it so I could not even see where I drove out at all. Was tough going up Saturday, but with 4 chains I did make it up the hill, only to get high centered going onto the snowmobile trail. Good thing I carry a long handled shovel, and was able to dig it out till the tires hit again, and drove the rest of the way in.
I did video the drive out from the week before, in my Tracker, was Dec. 30th, and about 20 plus inches of snow. I'll post the video here, even though it never looks bad in videos.
