Ranch Rudolf – January 6
Yesterday’s warm weather hurt a bit. Trails are getting a little spotty. We could really use some fresh snow. Still rideable, but we’re calling trails in our area fair at best.

Trails are OPEN !, groomers are heading out again today after the Boardman trails received between 8-18 inches in the past 48 hours. We do have more snow expected so I think winter is finally here. I am going to ride today so I will update tomorrow if needed. If your out there riding be aware of our groomers and make sure to thank them for the job they volunteer for when you see them.

Finally some snow! Another 3 inches or so last night. Everything is covered and shaping up nicely. Groomers went out yesterday and headed out again today to get things packed down. Lots of snowmobilers out and about enjoying their first rides of the season. Looks like we have a good bit of cold weather and snow in the forecast, lets hope we are all set going forward for good conditions!
