Yesterdays sunshine and mild temps made the trails sloppy yesterday afternoon. The cold air returned early this morning. Its been lightly snowing thru the day. Snow and cold continue in the forecast for this week.
Riders returning tonight are reporting some rough riding. There were alot of riders the last two days. It wasn’t just Gaylord trails, it was the surrounding areas. Jordan Valley and west was very rough. Hoping groomers get out tonight and smooth things out

Yesterday the trails took a major hit–not just from heavy sled traffic but from the warm temperatures. The mercury was registering 42 degrees and it stayed warm throughout the evening into this morning. The groomers simply have to stay parked when it is that warm. The temperatures have started to drop and the groomers are all out there trying to straighten things out as best they can.
We won’t know the overall condition of our trail network until they have a chance to complete their work. Fortunately, there is no more warm weather in the immediate forecast. Stay tuned.
