18 degrees this morning and snowing. Picked up about an inch of snow on my deck last night too. Got a new feature I`m starting today so read on, but first to the trails……

All our trails are in good shape right now.

Groomer Kevin hit the Falls trail last night and called it good. Thats the only trail we hit yesterday, read on…..

Groomer Dave M. is heading out to the barn right now to hit the South trail #8 if the machine will start, read on……

We are TOTALLY fed up with these machines so I decided to have "fun" with it. The new feature is gonna be called Groomer Chris` broke down grooming machine show, so here we go….

First we`ll start with the machine that has been down since last Sunday. We finally figured out its the fuel injector pump AGAIN. Its less than a year old and the company WILL warrantee it but its gonna be a week before we can get the new pump….one machine down.

Second, our middle machine, its a 2012, wouldn`t start yesterday. The boys fiddled with it for a couple hours and got` er running but we suspect the injector pump is on its way out too. Groomer Kevin ran this machine last night to the Falls and didn`t have any issues but we`ll see what happens this morning for Dave. So the #2 machine is a question mark.

Third is our brand new machine. Its been acting up lately so we called the manufacturer. They sent out a crew yesterday and monkeyed with it last night. They reprogramed the computer and did a bunch of other stuff and now the darn thing is worse!!!! They are out there again this morning. So the #3 machine is a question mark but it ain`t lookin good. Pretty fun eh? All this on a busy weekend too…..now its alot of fun…..eh?

So…..if you encounter some rough trails this weekend I just wanna say its not our fault. We are BUSTING OUR BUTTS but just can`t seem to catch a break……sorry.

Stay tuned for more of Groomer Chris` broke down grooming machine show. LOL

Friday Morning 10:20 a.m. Well it did get cold overnight and hardened everything up and its 25 degrees right now. The only thing the weather did wrong is it forgot to snow here. Right now though there are some pretty heavy flakes in the air but that just started.

All the many water puddles that were there yesterday are skimmed over but not frozen solid.

There are 3 riders out in my lot right now that came up from Pioneer Ohio that started out from a cabin right here in Frederic. I told them to head up north and west and I think it will be hard but better over that way. Lube for their slides is going to be one of the problems.

If you are heading to or from the U.P. stop in and see me. Exit 264 on I 75. I will be here seeing what kind of excitement happens in Frederic.

There are also two events going on this weekend, the Winterfest at Lakes of the North with Freestyle Jumpers and in Marion their Snowfest with vintage sled races at the fairgrounds. All pics below are from this morning on the way here and of the Ohio Riders……..I wrote Sat Morn on the Ohio guys pic but its really Friday morning, just feels like sat. Thanks for checking in. Pete
