General Trails Question

[TimR]

Question for those who have been riding for years - What the heck causes the moguls to form on heavily used trails? Also, can a groomer run through there and level them out?

A day or two after a fresh snow, the trails around here turn into hellish miles of bump after bump after bump.

Horsepower is what makes those moguls. If everybody drove like old ladies; the trails could handle twice the usage. But; good luck with that one. And yes; providing that there is enough snow; a groomer has no problem smoothing the moguls out. Hope this helps

If you hate the moguls never go to the UP of Michigan, sleds disappear on the downside of those gianormous things.

I second that sledneck, the U.P. is the king of mogul country!!! I hate riding on the trails up there unless the groomer just came through recently. And like the previous person stated, those moguls are formed by hitting the gas hard and then the next person comes through and packs the pile of snow down when they run it over. Then all you have is little canyons.....

I groom, and if people would keep EVEN throttle and NOT hit the gas in the corners everyone would have much better trails. Some will never get it. Most people have to return on the same trail they started on and can't figure out why the trails are so bumpy when they return.

It's a good reason to join your local club and learn about the trail system and driving the groomer to keep the trails in good shape.

Now what kind of fun would it be to keep it even throttle through the corners

Might as well go back to the ol Yamaha Enticer 250 and wrap duct tape around the throttle and keep her barred the whole way. That would be even.
