20 degrees this morning and snowing. Picked up some snow yesterday and last night but its hard to tell how much cause it was so windy, I`m gonna call it 2 inches just to put a number on it. The weather guessers are calling for 3 more today. Good news/bad news on the trails, so here we go.
I`m gonna start with the bad this time. We closed the gates on the swamp south of town, trail #8. Its under water and the power line south of town is too. Just can`t do anything about that. All other trails are in good shape. They are flat and a touch icey, so be carefull. We are gonna run all of them tonight. I heard a rumor that we are done grooming, this is NOT TRUE!!!! I`m grooming tonight so I don`t know how that got started. We will keep grooming until Ole Man Winter puts a stop order on us. So don`t pay no mind to negative rumors. You always get the truth from me!!!
Bout all I gots fer ya`s today. As usual, I`m keeping an eye on the weather UP here and you keep an eye on me. Groomer Chris

Afternoon Update – Hey folks, Groomer Chris here. I needed to get back on here this afternoon to amend my morning post cause I just found out new info and I ALWAYS try to post the truth. Groomer Don did run the Point trails yesterday and they turned out good….sorry…I didn`t know he went out yesterday. Now on to the main reason…..
Groomer Mike got a phone call yesterday afternoon about a tracked 4 wheel drive vehicle out on the Pine Stump trail that was buried on the trail. WTH!!!!! He grabbed Groomer Gerald and went out to the rescue. By the time they got out there (approx. 5 hrs.) the vehicle was gone. This MORON really tore up the trail with his vehicle!!! He left 1 foot ruts through-out the entire trail and totally destroyed it!!!! Well, 11 hrs later they got it whipped back into shape but this was totally stupid!!!! If these ruts would have gotten frozen in we would have been screwed for the rest of this season!!! I hope this guy reads this report and realizes how much money and time he cost us….MORON!!!!! Thats all I got to say about that.

33 degrees this morning and partly cloudy. It rained most of the night last night and we did lose some more snow. We still have a solid foot and a half of snow on the ground though. It still looks like Ole Man Winter will return starting tomorrow. ‘They’ are still saying 3-6 inches through Sunday and continue through next week. Highs around freezing and lows in the 20`s. Remember, I`m not a weatherman, so don`t hold me to nuttin!
The groomers all stayed parked yesterday so nothing went on. I know the trails are all in pretty good shape despite this weather. There has been hardly any sled traffic on them. I also know the south trail #8 is pretty hit. You can drive along M-123 and see the power line is not good. I imagine the swamp is worse. Me thinks we are done with this trail for the year unless a miracle happens.
Soooo….if you are thinking about coming UP this weekend, I say go for it, just don`t expect perfect. We will be running the groomers as long as the weather allows. Groomer Chris
