I wish I had better news for everyone but I don’t. The trails need a good dumping of snow, just like the ones that have gone south and north of us. There is snow in the woods but the trails themselves have more dirt than snow on them. Our groomers are sitting idle until we receive some measurable snow. Sadly, I wouldn’t ride my sled on them and would not recommend it to anyone else at this time. Today, it was sunny and 37. Tomorrow the forecast shows 36 and some wet flurries. I will continue to keep you informed of our current conditions, hopefully they will change for the better soon. Lets do some snow dances and hope for the best. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Sober, Ride Safe.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
Groomer Randy was stopped by a group of sleds today and was given a tasty treat of cookies today! Thanks to that group for the nice gesture! Randy reported great conditions while doing the east route. Groomer Jeff did the north route and reported great conditions also.
Unfortunately, we need to report that we are forecasted for a warm up. Starting Saturday and running for at least 6 days with temps in the low to mid 40's. Fingers crossed that we don't loose everything. #traversecity #snowphotos
