It’s coming! Maybe the biggest dumping we’ve had all year!
Looks like entire UP could receive a lot of fresh snowfall!
Tomorrow should NOT be anyone’s day for travel, wherever you choose to ride!
Where are you planning or dreaming of heading?!

It felt great tonight to be back in the saddle again. I just did a short run to get used to it but I'm ready to Rock & roll. I must say the trails are in the best shape I've seen in years. Hopefully it'll stay cold so we can keep the base we have right now.

Things are looking real good so far this year. The trails that have been groomed are staying flat and are in very good shape. Hopefully this week all the clubs can wrap up getting the rest of our trail system opened up.
THINK SNOW!
