02/15

We got an inch of snow last night and 2-3 inches Sat night and trails are in rideable condition. Groomers have been out on all trails except the south loop of Kinross. Trails are frozen flat but a good snow/icy mix on top. Snow is falling right now and the weatherman is saying maybe a part of a storm on Thursday. Conditions still range from poor to good to excellent! There is some snirt in and out of towns but not much. The MSA Ride In will be in town this weekend, we have our pancake breakfast on Saturday 8-11am at our groomer barn, and switch over to chili and dogs from 1130 -2 for MSA riders. The farther south the less snow, the farther west and north more snow and better trails.

Join us on Facebook also.
