The latest Lake Effect Snow Machine delivered anywhere from a few inches in town to as much as 10 inches out in the snowbelt! It’s about time to get out there and play! Based on the National Weather Service snow depth map, we now have up to 20 inches on the ground over most of our trail system! We are currently under a Lake Effect Snow Advisory calling for more through midnight tonight. If this keeps up, we will have some awesome riding over the Christmas/New Years holiday! Woo Hoo!!

Still, consider this early season riding as we haven’t gotten all the trails packed and the loggers are still plowing sections of the trails. If you are out and about watch for ice, downed trees, limbs and especially watch for logging signs/trucks along Trails 8 West, 89, 443, 88 and 888.

Crazy 8’s Open House, December 28, 2013 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Groomer Barn with Brats, dogs, refreshments and snacks! Meet the team, check out the groomers and make new friends. You will be able to get your official ‘Crazy 8’s’ gear straight from the ‘Home of the Crazy 8’s.’ Oh, and we will be giving away prizes, too!

As always, Ride Safe and Bring them Home Alive!

Well as I said a few days ago, it was coming and boy did it! We woke up to over 12 inches of fresh white powder in town Saturday morning. Checking around I learned that the snow only went a few miles inland and there was between 12 and 16 inches. But it’s all powder, not real good for packing and establishing a base but sleds are out having a blast. We are working on freezing in the wet spots and cleaning up after the ‘storm’ but it will take a few days to hit all the trails. We are starting to pan the trails and we still have some signing to do on the reroutes for 888 and 443. We will not start actual grooming until we get more snow to work with. Overnight, we did get a couple more inches of fluff and they are calling for a bit every day this week. Looks like a long season may be in store!

If you are out and about, watch for water holes, ice, downed trees, limbs and especially watch for logging trucks along Trails 8 West, 89, 443, 88 and 888. Right now there are loggers all over trying to get their loads of wood out so they are plowing sections of these trails.
