Groomer Chad out on 431 tonight, this is prob his last run of the year and wanted me to send along this message, “Thanks to the 99% of sledders that give the thumbs up and appreciate what we all are doing. Also, a special thanks to the sledders that passed out treats to us.”
Well our groomers are done for another year. Trail 8 was groomed for the last time Saturday west of Brimley. It is flat, snow covered, and perfect. But 45 degree temps called for all week and rain called for Tuesday and only a few sleds around. Only had one 10 foot bare spot on a hill where sun shone on it all day. Lots of snow in woods yet but I think a lot of bare spots by weekend. Trails officially close April 1 but our leases on private land don’t end then so gates will be open on our trails until rideable snow is gone.
Trail #8 going west are the only trails left that are rideable. The sun is melting a little bit of snow every day and areas in the open will develop bare spots or corners rain and 45 degrees Tuesday
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. Make sure you lock your vehicles and trailers.
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.
