It did get back down below freezing last night but it is back up to 36 degrees now.

Temps are supposed to drop down in the teens tonight and we will be out doing some grooming before it warms up too much in daylight.

March 10 – The temp was 37 this morning but it is 41 now at 11 am and the sun is shining. Daytime temps all week are to be in the upper thirties but get below freezing at night. It is the beginning of the end!! We will be able to groom before the weekend and you should be able to ride for sure this weekend I believe but we will have to see. The snow turns to ice crystals and road shoulders get bare.

Trails overall are in good to excellent shape and groomers will go out if it gets cold enough at night. 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!!!!!!

We now have a marked trail that will be groomed on occasion to get to parts and service at Chippewa Motors. it comes into the back of their lot from the east side of M-129 when you come out of the woods.
