Friday the 13th. Yep, there – I said it.
Still snowing a little, but didn’t get the snow totals that they were calling for. Cut got maybe between 2-3′, Iggy got maybe 2′.
Trails are iffy, but ridable. everything was covered in an ice base and really slick. This little storm put slide-cooling snow on top. There was some gravel poking through here and there, and I would really like to see another 4-8′ before I can say that you will have good riding for sure. There are some sleds traveling between Moran-Brevort-Trout Lake. Trails are ridable for sure, just treat them as really early season conditions.
I am not sending the groomers out on this storm, and want to see a bit more snow first. Maybe we will get some of the lake effect they are calling for around us. I will update tomorrow to let you know how it came out.

Trails have been panned down, and are in OK or decent shape. Things are thin, and there are problem areas, so we are talking about early-early type season riding here.
The Cedarville connector isn’t done, nor the Caffey, and will wait for more snow on those. The Truck Trails North of Brevort have some dirt mixed in due to cutting the logging tuck runts down. Groomer Dave said the pipeline section is also junk. Everything else has between 1-3′ of base on it.
Forecast is warming up until Saturday, then in the 20s for 2 or 3 days. If we get any traffic on Thursday & Friday, it may well trash what we have, but it is possible to ride right now, just be mindful and use those early season rules.
Groomers will not run again until we get more snow, which is looking like mid-next week at the earliest. I can’t believe we are having another winter like this. Gonna be tough to take 3 consecutive years of this.
