Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 02/09

Greetings Sledders,

Sorry for the delay but the last few days have been from groomer hell. Started in the middle of the night last Saturday when the New Holland took a puke on the trail with an alternator failure and it’s been non-stop ever since, one major issue but mostly minor ones that consume my entire day. Day in and day out!! Oh well it’s all part of the job that us volunteers don’t get paid to do.

First of all let’s talk about the new snow that you downstaters are getting and we aren’t. What’s up with that? We look to get about 2-3 maybe 4" max out of this thing. Enough to keep us in the grooming game but we really need a bunch more. Unfortunately after this system passes there’s not much in the forecast.

We are grooming and have heard good comments overall about our efforts to work with what we’ve got. We’re pretty much where we have been all season, a mixed bag of conditions.
It looks right now like I can get a window for a ride sometime tomorrow and I will update after that, unless of course something else takes a puke.

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

Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 02/05

Greetings Sledders,

Nothing has really changed since the last report. We haven’t lost any snow but we haven’t gained much either. We are grooming and I find that the Frederic trail is improving with each pass also I’m still more comfortable with leaving the fair part of the rating in due primarily to the icy conditions in the base.

Things are pretty much what we’ve seen all year, some segments are as white as you could ask for and some are snirty. Nature of the beast this season I suppose. There’s nothing in the forecast that would suggest that we are going to go backwards anytime soon so I would say that you can catch a good ride here overall.

The only exception to the grooming part would be the Lovells trail #47 as it thins out at Jones Lk. Rd.

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

p.s. If you do come up please bring some cans of Spam, Glen’s Market ran out.
