Conditions will range from poor to good to excellent! The farther south the less snow, the farther west and north more snow and better trails. The sun and warmth over the last few days have turned trails to icy paths except west of Brimley. It was 8 degrees Monday night and it is to stay cold all week but no new snow called for until Friday. The wet areas are still frozen.
