We received about 10′ of snow yesterday and last night.

Trail #9 was groomed last night. The groomers report a very good to excellent trail up to Pine Stump/Holland Lake staging area. It is snowing, and the scenery is beautiful.

Trail #45 is plowed from Skyline Road to the north 3 miles for logging. USE EXTREME CAUTION IN THE PLOWED AREA WHERE THEY ARE LOGGING. This area is very icy with large dips please be careful. The trail is in very good condition other than that. Lou said we can now measure the snow in feet instead of inches.

Trail #9/2 to Epoufette/ Trout Lake is in good condition, as they did get about 6′ of snow. The trail to Epoufette is in good condition. The trail #473 to Trout Lake, the snow is thin along the railroad tracks to Trout Lake. We did loose some of the trail due to the rain.

THE NORTH STORE ON CO. RD. 407,WILL BE OPEN THIS YEAR.

The curfew for the Village of Newberry is 11:00 P.M. until 7:00 A.M.

FYI: There will not be gas at Rainbow Lodge as they are closed due to the Duck Lake fire. There is a gas pump logo on the trail map, but they will be CLOSED.
