All three groomers have been running double routes each day to try to smooth the trails out from the heavy weekend traffic and softening snow on Saturday. Fortunately, the warm spell only lasted one day so we didn’t lose much snow. You may find snirt in places where the trail is narrow and deep in the forest but for the most part the trails remain white. The in-town trail looks pretty snirty in spots but is still snow covered. We could sure use some snow now to help clean things up. We’ve gotten pretty spoiled the weeks before Christmas with 2-4 inches of fresh snow every day. Since Christmas, we only seen a dusting.

Overall trail conditions: Good to Excellent

HAPPY NEW YEAR–Ride Safely

Yesterday the trails took a major hit–not just from heavy sled traffic but from the warm temperatures. The mercury was registering 42 degrees and it stayed warm throughout the evening into this morning. The groomers simply have to stay parked when it is that warm. The temperatures have started to drop and the groomers are all out there trying to straighten things out as best they can.

We won’t know the overall condition of our trail network until they have a chance to complete their work. Fortunately, there is no more warm weather in the immediate forecast. Stay tuned.
