All alone till 8:38 this morning just about back to the Newberry turn! 🥰
Smoothed it out very nice, mostly 😊
Temp bounced 26-29 all night.
Says we're at 40ish now and the dash is flashing GO HOME DUFUSS! 🤣
That's what were doing, see what I can do, going anyway, 😉 #newberry #snowphotos
Fresh tracks, crisp air, and the trail stretching out ahead—nothing better to start the day.
Is Windy Corners on your destination list for today?
Wherever the trail leads, ride right and ride safe. 🛷👍 #newberry #snowphotos9:05 AM view (3/5/26) of Trail 498 coming into Windy Corners! ❄️🏁

30 degrees this morning under a partly cloudy sky. I saw 46 here yesterday at my place.....not good! I`m sure ya`ll are watching the weather as close as we are so you know whats UP. We still have plenty of snow on the ground but the roads are thawed and its tough getting around them. It looks like if we can get by this week it will cool off again late next week and maybe snow a little. Here`s whats been going on the last couple days on the trails.....
After all trails were run Tuesday all the operators reported them as good. We took yesterday off except groomer Mike ran an inspection run thru the south swamp. He said it was holding up good for now but on his way back there was some water showing up on top of the trail. Thats an early sign its on its way out. We are gonna run all trails today/tonight and see what we got. We run drags that work good in the warmer weather so we`ll keep going as long as the weather allows. Hopefully we can make it till the end of the season but it won`t be long before the swamps open up. Keep checking back and I`ll keep ya`ll informed.

Went for a little spin today
Trails are good. Lots of snow and low traffic. I’m glad I finally got to go out for a few minutes
I will try and enjoy all this snow we have this month!
Don’t put the sleds away yet. I really enjoy March riding
Lots of parking out back for anyone that needs it... #newberry #snowphotos
Warmer during the day and getting cold at night
The snow hasn’t really taken a hit up this way Bext week looks to cool right back down again for the rest of thr month
I’m sure towns will be getting harder to get in and out of
The trails are holding up great.
If you need a place to park and ride we have plenty of parking out back
I will try and get a video of trail 9 this morning
Don’t put your sleds up yet plenty of winter left up here... #newberry #snowphotos
