Good evening! Brimley Bill brought the Pisten Bully in to the Soo barn from Raco via trail 8 and groomed along the way. After 6โ€+ of new snow yesterday, the berms at the road crossings needed to be cleared.
He did a great job and the trail is flat, wide, and beautiful tonight!

The Bully is in for a thaw and an oil change and itโ€™ll be back out to Raco tomorrow night.
Thanks Bill! โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ
