Well…….Hell…..This is the official "opening day" of sno-mo season and there isn`t a lick of snow on the ground, in fact, the ground isn`t even froze yet. It is only 23 degrees outside though…..thats a plus. Looking at the weather for the next week, it doesn`t look like it will start to snow either. Hate to be a "debbie downer" about this but it is what it is. I guess then I`ll just go into what we`ve been UP to these last few weeks.

All of our trails are ready to go as far as brushing and signing. This just pertains to the high ground that we can get to with trucks and quads. I do want to mention there is A LOT of water on them this year. More than I have seen in the 20 yrs. I have been doing this!! This means its gonna take a lot more time to freeze them in this winter so be patient when the time comes. I will keep ya`ll well informed on here of our progress as we go.

As far as the groomers go…..we have 2 of them ready to go. We are waiting on the factory mechanic to come UP and finish the 3rd one. This one had a final drive assembly gettin ready to let lose. The mechanic found this problem when he was here last spring doing warranty work. He said it might have lasted another month, so he tore it apart then, instead of out on the trail this winter and its very complicated with a dozen gears and bearings and bushings and the like, thats why we didn`t dare to tackle it. He`s supposed to be back sometime in the next week or two. This damn virus has him set back quite a bit so thats why it isn`t fixed yet.

I guess thats all I have to report for now.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emmett’s final season report-My last groom of the year left me with a little tear. Jack made two passes I made one. That’s a three way freeway.

We would like to extend our appreciation to our Groomer Operators. They answered the call every time mother nature threw a curve and did an excellent job responding. A great team with passion and dedication to keeping the Crazy 8’s safe.

Thank you Groomers!
