Greetings Sledders,

We picked up a meager inch or two yesterday but it was enough to help with the snirtiness somewhat on the south end of trail 7 and I would call that trail a fair from here to just south of Frederic where it improves greatly from there north. Trail 7 south of 72 is what it is and I’m tired of talking about it.

Trail 79 is in decent shape from the parking lot all the way to the Blue Bear, trail 47 is in decent shape as well. There are some thin areas through the pines which is typical.

I groomed everything north of 72 today and the Lovells trail yesterday and a reasonable indicator of a trail that’s building in snow is the fact that there is ample material in the corners to blade to the inside radius and pretty much all of the corners have material to work with. We are also blading the corners wide which will help as well.

The base is slowly building on all of the trails although it’s a slow process with the traffic and subsequent grooming that took place over the Holiday but we are gaining on it. There continues to be some marginal areas of snirt and that is typical as well. We need more snow before I can honestly put a "good" rating on everything so "fair" is the word.

Tired and I have our club meeting tonight so bye.
Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
Keith, Sandy and The Girls

Greetings Sledders,

Yes I know that I’m tardy with this but I’ve yet to figure out a way to update and groom at the same time. I’ve been in a tractor since Tues and got a reprieve yesterday due to it being ridiculously cold. Got up at six to find temps in the neighborhood of 17 below and decided to cancel all grooming for the day. A multitude of bad things can happen in that kind of weather, none of which are good and the worst can be gelling of the fuel in the filters, killing the engine and also the heat. It’s not worth the risk.

Some trail segments took a beating from heavy traffic and from heavy grooming which has made them pretty snirty. We’ve gotten some snow off and on, or on and off depending on how you wish to say it and it has helped to keep those stretches in an overall fair condition. Be advised however, that there are pieces of that trail that I would consider to be in poor shape and will continue to be that way until we get measureable snowfall. Specifically the trail I’m talking about here is trail 7 which is basically the I-75 of trails near Grayling. Trail 79 is in a little better shape and trail 47 to Lovells is better yet.

It remains early season riding with a mixed bag of conditions which is typical after a Holiday weekend.

We groomed today and will continue tomorrow and Wed with Thurs being up in the air because daytime highs are not expected to break zero.

That’s it for now, next report sometime this week.

Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
