It's SNOWING! January 8, 2026
Dan Riblett
Well, the wait may be over! We have about 8 inches of snow at the Cat shed, which is marginal for us to start operations. We are going to try to get out and head to higher ground to start getting the snow packed down and work on the never-ending supply of fallen trees across the trails. We have both cats ready and waiting and are chomping at the bit to get out there!
If you are out and about and come across downed trees, please let us know! Post a message on the Klamath Basin Snowdrifters Facebook page with the location and possibly a photo so we can identify what will be needed to remove it.
If you are helping out by taking your chainsaw to open the trails, please consider that the cat needs a path about 18 feet wide to safely navigate. If you are cutting a section of a big tree to get sleds or skiers through, consider making two more cuts; one just off the road on each side. That way when the cat gets to the tree, it will not be necessary to stop and have the operator take the time to saw. We have a LOT to get through and the more help we can get this month the better! THANKS!
