February 6, 2017 – VIA CADILLAC WINTER PROMOTIONS

Well, what a weekend! Trails were very busy, but for the most part held up. Routes are being run today and we are hoping for some more snow. Trail conditions remain about the same. Icy base with enough snow to keep the trails leveled out.

February 3, 2017 – VIA CADILLAC WINTER PROMOTIONS

Well, Here is the scoop. We still have an icy base, but trails are good and flat.

All trails are being groomed on their regular schedule. Groomers will be out a few extra times this weekend during NASF, please watch out for them.

Went out grooming trails are in the best shape all year long pics from trail 637

Groomer Report

Trails and weather are looking good! We did have a lot of traffic over this last weekend but groomers are all out repairing the damage. We’ve received about 5 inches of new snow since this morning and more is expected through the day and into Monday with a big storm still in the forecast for Tuesday! It’s all good!! I’m not sure, yet, how much snow has made it down to our southern most trails (13 south & 1 south). One of our drivers reported yesterday that the snow was pretty thin from about the south end of the lake southward. The snow belt at the north end of the lake northward has plenty of snow. Although there is a portion of trail 8 east near Ewen that is a bit bare due to salt getting dragged onto the trail from a nearby roadway.

As previously posted, please stay on the trails in Bergland. You are not allowed to ride the highway through town and may be ticketed. You can only access the gas station by following the trail through the park and crossing directly across from the gas station from Antonio’s Restaurant. If riding the roads through Merriweather (down to the Hoop ‘N Holler Tavern or to the lake) please remember to ride at the posted speed limit of 25 mph and stay to the side of the roadway, and, as always be aware that this is a residential area and watch for traffic.
