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.

Just got back from a wonderful Christmas Day snowmobile ride. The trails are outstanding and we only saw five sleds during our two hour ride. We stayed south of M-55 and were on the White Pine Trail and found the trails to be good to excellent…mostly excellent as far snow conditions are concerned. All trails were super smooth. Where the trail is in the dense forest and the snow cover isn’t as heavy we found less base and some snirt. We got another 3-4 inches of fluff last night and throughout the day. We have so much snow it looks more like February around here than December.

The groomers took a little time off to celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with their families but starting tomorrow they will all be out there again running their regular routes and schedules.
