December 26 – Hi all! I hope everyone had a great Christmas! Well we got some good snow last week and the trails were looking pretty good for early season but now it’s all flipped. Last night we saw heavy rain, even thunderstorms! Now today is 50 degrees and sunny! Boo! Hey – I love the sun, but not with 50 degrees! It looks like there is some snow and colder temps in the forecast for later this week so keep up the good vibes and prayers that we get more snow! Till next time – Seeya on the trails, Carol

December 21

Trails are ok but we are getting warm and sloppy!
Please use caution, sleds don’t handle great in the slush.

We WILL NOT be grooming until temperatures drop and we get snow.
Not looking good for the holiday week

Christmas Eve, December 24, 2016

Trail Conditions: Fair

We picked up 3 to 4 inches of much needed snow last night. The warmer temperatures have been taking a toll on conditions. We took the groomers off the trail yesterday until there is more snow and cooler temperatures. Keep an eye on the Weather Channel and TV 9/10. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Trail Conditions (12:30 p.m. update): Fair

Just received these photos from one of our groomers who was out for a Christmas Eve ride. The photo on the left was taken down by the Pine River Bridge this morning and will give you an idea of trail conditions in that area. Photo on the right was taken near 10 Mile Rd and Trail 35.

Trail Conditions: Fair to Good

The groomer out of Boon just sent me these photos along with a trail update. He was reporting from Trail 637 North of Lost Pine Lodge and indicated the open areas are excellent, tight areas are good and the base is good at 4 inches or so. We have a brief warm spell ahead that could impact trail conditions. We’ll have to wait to see how much.
