Good Morning….Monday , Feb 27th 9:20am….temp is 33 and light snow falling …We did run the groomers all weekend & last night… It never did snow like the weather guessers said it would. But it did snow enough to cover the trails..
I groomed trail #8 to Pine Stump last night. It is about 80% good, 10% fair and 10% dirt. DON ran trail #45 to the Falls and about the same thing. The Point trail, #452 and #453 is the same too. Trail #8 south is a little worse, more like 50-30-20.

We received about 2-4 inches last night with drifting/high winds…so it varies from area to area & every mile down the trails..
2 more impending storms are moving in to our area this week and snow if forecast for the next 5 days….we will see….the trails are improving with the lights snow we receiving..
