EVENIND UPDATE: The Trail Boss, Norm, has released the Cats! The groomers will be heading out at 7 tonight.

You are all probably worried about the warm up we had. It got up to 37 degrees here yesterday but thankfully no rain, maybe a little misty stuff in the fog but nothing to worry about. We kept the groomers in last night and it’s cooling down; it’s 29.7 this morning and the temperature is supposed to keep dropping; staying in the teens the rest of the week. The NWS snow map shows we really haven’t lost any snow and another storm is on her way; expected to bring 6 to 12 inches of fresh snow. Things in Grand Marais are good!

What can I say that hasn’t been said already?! It is finally winter in da UP! With two to three feet of snow on the ground, more coming down as I type… and the weatherman keeps adding another advisory every time one expires for more and more snow. We’ve got a good base established with plenty of powder to play in. The temperatures have moderated with lows in the teens and highs in the twenties. In my estimation, I’d say that’s – PERFECT conditions to ride!

My work is all caught up, it’s the weekend and tonight, I’m going to go play in a groomer – heading out east on Trail 8! Haven’t driven in a couple years but I can’t just sit here any more hearing about how beautiful it is . . . I gotta get out there!

Ride safe and enjoy the view!
