January 29, 2015 – This morning it is 24 degrees and we got a solid inch of fresh snow. Looks like the 3-5 inches predicted just petered out. The weather guessers are calling for scattered snow showers for the next few days though and temps to remain cold.

All trails are in excellent shape, so not much to report except the weather…..boring!

Sooooo….come on UP….lets go ridin!!! Groomer Chris

January 28, 2015 – Woke up this morning to minus 5 degrees, partly cloudy and a beautiful sunrise.

Just a quick update to keep ya`ll up to speed. I`ve had a few calls asking how much snow we got on the ground. I would estimate about 3 feet….plus or minus…so there you go. We got a good one foot base on the trails….plus or minus. We are expecting some snow blowing in for tonight and tomorrow. They are calling for 3-5 inches….hope this happens….we could use some fresh stuff to groom. It has been cold the last couple mornings and the trails are gettin hard and packed. It makes it tough to groom when all you`re doing is breaking up the hard pack. The snow doesn`t set down as nice. The temps are supposed to warm into the upper 20`s this weekend also, that will help out too.

Not much more to report for now. So…….LET ER SNOW !!! Come on UP, You won`t be disappointed. Groomer Chris
