Minus 4 degrees this morning and partly cloudy. No new snow last night either. Our dark cloud resumes, we just can`t believe it, read on…..

Groomer Kevin was out on the Point Trails yesterday and we got the dreaded call……his machine is running but won`t move and he lost all hydraulics. This has happened before on this machine and we knew what it was. I`m not gonna get into the details but we have to tear down the whole machine to fix it, but we`ve been there and done that and we`re good at it!!! I think some of the guys got into it last night and we got a crew to go out this morning. It will take ALL day.

On the other machine with the broken cooling fan, we overnighted the parts so hopefully they will be in this morning. This will only be a couple hours…..and we`ve done this before too.

I know this is supposed to be a trail report but DOG GONE IT!!!!!!! We all are totally frustrated and gettin tired. With any luck we`ll have all three machines back on the trails by tomorrow.

Bout all I have to say for today….sorry…..I am not a happy camper.

We’re still down a groomer, but due to the cold temps trails are staying flat and corners staying snow covered. Within the last 30 hours all GRTA trails have been groomed. Today the groomer is out on trail 2 towards Marenisco.

Trails are in fantastic condition, solid 6"-14"+ packed base. Give these two guys a fist pump as you ride by!

Tomorrow the Snowball Cancer V 500 ride will start and end on our trail system. Look up this amazing 500 mile single day charity ride and donate today! #GRTA #allvolunteer #jointheclub
