Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 12/31

Greetings Sledders,

My gut has been telling me recently that not much is going to come from this system that is growing in the plains and headed our way, Keep in mind that I’m not an expert on gutspeak and what my gut has really been telling me may have simply been that it’s time to eat. We could actually be in the game by sometime Monday.

As of tonight’s forecast by the local weather wizards we are slated to get a foot (yes that’s twelve whole inches) of snow starting Sunday afternoon and going into Monday with strong winds carrying LE Snows. Who knows if it will come down as predicted but this is certainly encouraging news.

The initial snowfall that is in the forecast is system snow which is generally moisture laden, the type that is conducive to snowman building and snowball fights, ahh to be a youth again.

We will let you know how much we actually get and if it’s enough to fire up the groomers but they probably won’t hit the trails until the snowman building thing is done and I’ve hit Groomer Bill with a couple of surprise snowballs along side his head.

Have a Happy New Year everyone.

Riding appears to be closing in on us.

Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
Keith, Sandy and The Girls.

Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 12/22

Greetings Anxious Sledders,

Welcome to the 13th year of this report. It has been said that this report has just slightly more entertainment value than that of the ubiquitous insurance commercials on radio and TV, it just isn’t repeated 673 times per day.

We thought that last year was as bad as it could get, wrong. However I’ve decided that the lack of snow won’t get me down like it did last season when I was on the verge of doing something drastic like jumping off of one of our buildings when it dawned on me that the eaves are only 8 feet tall and the net result of the devastating fall would probably be a sprained ankle at worst which would render me hobbled AND depressed. There is of course the garage that has 13 foot eaves but then I would have had to explain why I had to buy a ladder to reach the roof just to jump off with likely the same results.
Better days are sure to come.

We spent around 250 man hours on the trails and getting equipment ready for the season and all that is needed now is snow, which according to John Dee doesn’t look to be happening anytime soon.

The next report will appear once we get a forecast of meaningful snowfall, or if you’re really bored you can read this one 673 times.

Have a GREAT HOLIDAY everyone.

When the time comes,
Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
Keith, Sandy and The Girls
