OOOHHHH YEA!! Looks like Ole Man Winter finally woke UP!! After 2 years its about time. We got a good foot to 15 inches the last day and a half. The groomers are out and about and it does look like its gonna stay. We set the town trail yesterday and are running the trails today. You are still gonna run into alittle water here and there but it shouldn`t be too bad…just be careful. Things aren`t perfect but it looks like we`ll be good to go for after Christmas to New Years week.

I`m heading down below da bridge for a couple of days for Christmas with family so will post again around the 26th. I think its safe to say come on UP for some early season ridin! – Groomer Chris

Big Snow has arrived 12-16 inches since Thursday night. The groomers have been out on some trails and are heading out on the remaining to get them packed down and fill in ground moguls. Also attempting to get wet areas or ditched packed down to get them to freeze. We have not had a lot of below freezing weather so if yo are out there riding yo may find some water under the snow.

Wet areas will not be frozen so you will find water in those usually wet areas. Also many less signs on the trails this years, no more chevrons on every little bend in the trail.

The trails in Brimley are groomed by us, not Bay Mills, the Bay Mills Indian Community does the loop North of Raco, up to their Casino only.
