Friday the 13th. Yep, there – I said it.
Still snowing a little, but didn’t get the snow totals that they were calling for. Cut got maybe between 2-3′, Iggy got maybe 2′.
Trails are iffy, but ridable. everything was covered in an ice base and really slick. This little storm put slide-cooling snow on top. There was some gravel poking through here and there, and I would really like to see another 4-8′ before I can say that you will have good riding for sure. There are some sleds traveling between Moran-Brevort-Trout Lake. Trails are ridable for sure, just treat them as really early season conditions.
I am not sending the groomers out on this storm, and want to see a bit more snow first. Maybe we will get some of the lake effect they are calling for around us. I will update tomorrow to let you know how it came out.
