Zero degrees this morning and partly cloudy. It was below zero all night last night and we got just a dusting of snow. It snowed most of the day yesterday but didn`t amount to much…..maybe 2 inches max. I`ve had quite a few calls lately asking how much snow we have on the ground, its anywhere from 2.5 to 3 foot, depending on where you are at, so plenty! The weather guessers are all over the map as far as whats gonna happen the next few days. Some say an inch or two and some say 4-5 inches but it looks like the temps will be around 30ish for highs…..so its all good for this weekend. Now, on to the trails……

Groomer Dave M. ran the South trail #8 yesterday and called it fair. He`s gonna run it again today as far as I know. The swamp south of town is holding up but its really icey. If we get this snow they are talking about that will help alot.

Groomer Kevin ran the Falls trail last night and called it good. He`s runnin the Point Trails this morning also.

All I know for today. LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Warm during the day and cold at night though trails still good shape. Groomers going out late night early morning. Supposed to get some snow Thursday night late and Saturday night too.

We have a new plowed parking area at the beginning of trail #8 under the International Bridge, which now has an all season porta John.

If you are staying in the Sault please look at our list of supporters on our web page and give them your business. Please do that in all towns you visit. The grooming entities are all made up of volunteers who want you to support those who support us!!!!!!

Remember trail base is the amount of snow between your track and the ground below not the amount of fluff piled up in the woods. 10 inches of snow compresses to less then a inch on the trail.
