38 degrees this morning, cloudy and kinda drizzely. It does look like the weather will change tomorrow. "They" are saying highs in the low 20`s and lows in the low teens for all of next week with a couple- few inches of snow each day but then warm up a touch into the low 30`s by the weekend……we`ll see.

Now on to the first part of business. We are low on help (as usual). It seems that we could get more help from the local businesses that depend on you snowmobilers but that just doesn`t seem to happen. Maybe if they would comment on our FB page about this post we could figure out why….we are open for any suggestions.

We are having a meeting this Wednesday the 11th at 6 PM at the new barn to discuss what needs to be done and hopefully recruit some new people. PLEASE!!!!! anybody who would like to help show up and some of you that have helped in the past but we haven`t seen in a long time….show up too!!!!

Now on to what went on yesterday………

Groomers Mike, Dave M., Gerald and a part time local Ed Sabo went out in 2 machines and hit the Falls trail. I was unable to help cause I hurt my back last Thursday. They started out on the south loop trail #45 which runs from town to the old barn on the south side of M-123. They had to turn around half way thru cause the water holes were too deep, even for the groomers!!!!!! They cut back in on the trail at the old barn. Long story short, they did make it the rest of the way to the Falls but it was VERY MUDDY and there was a TON of trees down. They got the trees cleared but the gates are closed for now. We will wait for it to freeze back in this week before trying it again so don`t go around the closed gates. We will open them when it is safe…..first and last warning!! With the water this high I can only imagine what the south swamp trail looks like!!

All fer now…..keep checking back…..I`ll keep you informed (as usual).

LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought I would jump on here for a hot second cause I know you crazy sled heads are trolling the internet for snow reports LOL.

Right now at my place it is 25 degrees and snowing sideways with a 25-30 mph wind howling right off the Bay! We have about 3 feet…..yes 3 feet….of snow on the ground! A tad early for this much snow in my book…sorry sled heads LOL. The weather guessers are calling for it to warm up to the upper 30`s and lower 40`s for next week though.

I do want to remind you that the trails don`t officially open up till Dec. 1st. You cannot ride on state land trails till then. This means like the trail to the Falls or any gated off trail. You can ride public land trails, but during the firearms deer season you can only ride between 11am-2pm or after dark….this is the LAW!

Another thing I want you to be aware of if you decide to come UP is the water on the trails below the snow. There is a TON of it!!!! We had a real wet fall and we ran across water holes in spots we have never had water before when we were out brushing this fall. So don`t come crying to me if you get yourself stuck in a huge puddle….er lake.

We cannot get our groomers out till the 1st. My best advise is to chill until we can get out and start freezing things in. It may take us a little longer to do that cause of all the water and it all depends what Mother Nature throws at us. I will throw the green flag UP when we think its safe.

Till then…….keep thinking snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
