The Boardman Valley Trail system is taking a beating from this rain. This past weekend we suspended rental operations after Saturday.

Trails actually held up pretty well through yesterday, however with the rain we’ve had all Day today we won’t be renting until we get another burst of snow.

The forecast for this week calls for a little snow here and there. Not sure we will get enough to open for the weekend yet or not. Wish I had better news to report. Unfortunately for now the trails are going to get icy after the rain and the groomers won’t be out until we get some good new snow…. – 231-633-2583 – www.bluesky-tvc.com

January 22, 2018

25 degrees this morning, cloudy and windy outa the NE. The weather guessers are still calling for some good snow UP here. Some counties are under a storm warning and some under an advisory. They are saying 3-6 inches of wet heavy snow for around here. This is what went on yesterday……

Groomer Gerald ran the Pine Stump trail #8 and called it fair.

Groomer Larry ran the Point Trails and called them fair.

Now, here`s something kinda cool. Groomer Jack called me yesterday afternoon and said he was bored and needed something to do. Larry had taken off really early (6 am) on the Point Trails so he was back at the barn pretty early, around 1 pm. Remember we only have 2 machines runnin right now and Gerald was out on the Stump trail. We had not planned to do anymore grooming for the day but I told him if he wanted to he could run south…..so he did!! I texted him a little later and suggested he skip the swamp section for fear of breaking it up cause of the warm weather but he "didn`t get the memo". Long story short, the swamp is still solid!! He did tell me there are a couple small water holes that opened up on the power line south of the river but no problem gettin around them on your sled…..just be careful and slow down. He rated the trail as a whole as fair. Thats it for the trail report but I want to mention something else while I`m on here.

I want to say THANK YOU for all the support on our FB page. The guys are seeing it and we do appreciate it. These darn warm ups, which seem to come on the weekends, are not helping our trails. I didn`t realize you all understood how much work we put in and we do take it to heart when the bashers complain but they don`t seem to understand. It is our worst nightmare when we jump into a machine and know the trails are hammered. We know its gonna be a long night for us and when we are done we are totally drained and sore. Again, THANK YOU from all of us!!!!

LET `ER SNOW today……HARD!!!!!

Groomer Chris
