February 14, 2015 – Conditions: Very Good – We picked up 6 inches of snow overnight and throughout the day. It is still snowing and the heavy winds are blowing it around making visibility nearly impossible at times.

Conditions are extreme right now but they are bringing us the snow we desperately need. It’s 6 degrees now but the wind chill factor has to be in the negative numbers. Just spoke with Jim Thomas, our Trail Coordinator, who has just returned from a ride to Mesick. He said we can upgrade our trail conditions to VERY GOOD–not Excellent. He said ‘Excellent was last year.’ We all remember last year, don’t we?

February 11, 2015 – Conditions: Fair to Good – These pictures were taken during yesterdays groom on Trail 37 between mile marker 21 and 23–the northern section of our system. That section remains in beautiful shape as the pictures attest.

The mid-section, southern section and White Pine Trial remain in fair to good condition. The snow is thin in areas, snirty in others but the forest roads are great. There are areas on Pole Road that are down to bare dirt. It started snowing this afternoon and we have picked up a couple inches so far.

Sadly, we did not get any snow overnight last night as was predicted. If you are staying in town this weekend, you might want to use the southern route to access the trails or plan on using our Staging Areas. See the Staging Area page of this web site for locations. Our groomers are still running their regular routes daily.
