Haven’t been on the trails myself but have been talking with several sledders and groomer operators and they all seem to be very happy with trail conditions. The only complaints they have is about the cold. Today the high was around 5 degrees and the weather man tonight said that we will be waking up to -16 degrees in the morning. Later in the day tomorrow temps could rise to the teens and Saturday should be in the twenties and possibly low 30’s. Hopefully our bitter cold temperatures are pretty much over. We got a dusting of snow today and may pick up a little more tomorrow.
Overall trail condition: Good to Excellent

To better access the forest trails, you’ll want to use one of the Staging Areas below:

Note: The porta-a-johns were removed from our staging areas today as our contracts on them expired 3-15-13.

Happy Monday all! 2013 is winding down now and it is Chhhiiiillllly! BRRRRR! It was barely over 5 this morning when I looked out and it’s not supposed to get out of the teens so bundle up in those layers if you are heading out! Wind chill is rough especially if you’re moving along so be careful! It got a bit sloppy over the weekend with the warm up but the groomers have been out consistently infact, they were out all night last night now that the temps dropped again packing it, grooming it, making a nice base again! Trails are as the Snowbirds say; ‘well groomed and ready to ride’! Some LE snow is in the forecast each day this week with system snow on New Years Day! Then a clipper for Saturday will help again for weekend traffic! Watch out for the flashing lights and the big green machine! Remember he can’t just get out of your way, so please move out of his way and give him a thumbs up as you go by! It’s our time baby! Get out and ride! Remember to watch out for the groomers and give them a thumbs up as you pass by! Be safe, have fun! Keep in touch! I love your emails! Thanks for the emails Greg M and Robert M. Appreciate it! Be safe, have fun and I’ll SEEYA on the trails! Carol
