Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 12/21

Greetings Sledders,

We’ve had many sledders in since we started panning and grooming last Thursday with no complaints lodged at least with regard to our efforts and trails. I think the trails have held together pretty well given the traffic and the type and amount of snow we’ve been given to work with. Lake Effect has never been conducive to base building but I’m not complaining, everything that’s on the ground so far is a bonus.

Because of the lack of base I’m rating our trails as fair. You may get on a stretch that might go for miles and be as white as, well, snow, but the base is missing or just starting to take hold and I consider that to be fair. And of course you may also experience a stretch that’s snirty and that too is fair at best. It’s an early season start, but it’s a start nonetheless.

We’re not quite sure what to expect weather wise after the weekend and into Monday. We know at this point that some rain may fall, how much is anyone’s guess.

If we get some light rain it would be a good thing for the base as long as the rain and next week’s increase in traffic don’t happen at the same time.

I’ll get out another report as weather warrants, probably Sunday evening sometime.

Have a Great Holiday.
Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
Keith, Sandy and The Girls

Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 12/15

Greetings Sledders,

Just a quick update. We got about 6″ of LES last night and it’s still snowing as of 3:30 this afternoon. Both groomers are out panning and I’ll be out tonight to pan what they don’t get to today. We are expecting an additional 6 or so of system snow sometime tomorrow and we intend to repeat today’s efforts.

Just a reminder, this is early season riding and base building is a process, it takes many passes and a lot of fresh snow to get it where we want it. I’ve read over the years where there are places that can get 10″ of snow and instantly end up with 10″ of base, I’m not sure what we are doing wrong but that hasn’t happened here.

I would rate the trails as fair to good and improving by the day.

Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
Keith, Sandy and The Girl
