For now, we are still getting out and doing what we can. Here’s what groomer Pete had to say after he, new groomer Zeke, and OG (original groomer) Ben were out this morning working on part of the city trail-
“After hearing about some trees down and some signs needing correction, a quick work party was organized to ensure the trails are safe for early season riding. We worked Trail 49 from the groomer barn to the business spur, by the city airfield. This section is almost impassable in the off season due to deep water. Many water holes are freezing up well, but the larger ones over natural springs are still open. We cut two trees, corrected 3 hazards markers, moved some logs, and identified a couple missing signs that will be corrected by vehicle. We saw a few sled tracks, please remember there is no base, and water holes are still open. With forecasted low temps in the next week, we should be freezing up well soon.”
We did also get word that there is a tree down on 889 (The Mission Hill Overlook loop). We will get out to it as soon as we can. If anyone in the area is able to ride out with a saw and safely cut and remove it before we can, please let us know.
We will continue to update and it looks like the forcast from here on out is very favorable to get things rolling very soon!
Thanks to all volunteers and also to you riders for letting us know when you see a hazard!
Ride safe!❄️❄️❄️Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
Hello again! Before the new snow overnight, Bryan was out on the city trails yesterday evening getting them into shape ahead of the weekend!
A little above freezing now, with freezing mist in some areas, but still looking amazing, especially for the first day of Spring! 😅🤯
Thank you, Bryan! Super cool video!❄️❄️ #soo #soo0320b #snowphotos 
Happy first day of Spring!!😅
Picked up 4” or so overnight. Our rider is almost buried again!
Going to be a little warmer today, then cold at night and the potential for more snow again tomorrow.
We’ll be grooming as long as conditions allow.
Get out and enjoy it! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0320 #snowphotos3/20/26
