March 1, 2018

32 degrees this morning and cloudy. We did hit 40 yesterday but it stayed cloudy so we didn`t loose a lot of snow. Just FYI, we still have a solid 2 1/2 foot of snow on the ground.

Groomer Mike was the only one to hit the trails yesterday. He ran the Stump trail and told me all in all its still in good shape. The plowed section from the loggers is still rideable and should at least last the weekend. Not sure what`s being run today cause I still haven`t made it out to the barn but something will get run.

We are still waiting for parts for the other machines. The hydraulic pump on the one was bad and they shipped out a new one yesterday, we should have it by tonight or tomorrow and we`ll get `er back together asap. Still haven`t heard a word about the injector pump.

If you`re thinking about heading UP this weekend…..DO IT!!!! Things won`t be perfect but you`ll get in some good miles. Just think late season ridin`.

Stay tuned, I`ll keep you up to date.

Groomer Report:

Good news, the groomer is fixed! The bad news is it’s still too warm to groom. It looks colder tomorrow and we will get out there if it cools down enough. There is snow in the forecast for next week.

The area from the trail #3 south intersection on the grade, trail #8, past Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 north intersection is quite thin. The grade between these two intersections gets a lot of traffic and is in a low snow fall area.

Please DO NOT climb the “Military Hill” from the highway, US 45, to the fence, we have ongoing erosion issues there and the hill climbers are adding to the problem. YOU COULD CAUSE THIS MAJOR TRAIL TO BE CLOSED IF YOU CONTINUE!

Watch for the groomers, they take up most of the trail and have the right of way!

Please pull over and DIM your lights for them, they have a long night out there.

Remember, you can get off the trail, the groomer can not.

Please ride on your own side of the trail and STOP at the stop signs!

Trail #3 North to Rockland is FAIR, better as you go north.

Trail #8 from Ewen to trail #3 North is FAIR.

Trail #3/8 East from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 South intersection is POOR.

Trail #3/8 West from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 North intersection is POOR.

Trail #3 South from the railroad grade to the CC road is FAIR, better in the woods.

Trail #8 from the trail #3 South intersection to Trout Creek is FAIR.

Trail #8 from Trout Creek to Kenton is FAIR.

Trail #8 from Kenton to Sidnaw is FAIR, better as you go east.

Trail #8/15 from Sidnaw to the trail #109 intersection is FAIR.

When I report “base” that is the depth of the un-groomed snow on my yard South of Sidnaw. There is no possible way to accurately report what the depth is under your snowmobile on the groomed trail, it varies widely.

Have a fun and safe trip, thank you for riding our trails and visiting our local businesses!
