TRAILS GROOMING OUT NICELY
Trails held up rather well from this weekends high traffic and are grooming out with favorable results. Overall the trail system is in good condition but again, by Alger SORVA standards more fresh snow is needed to bump the rating up. Our Pisten Bully is expected to be back up and running tonight which will be great. The Spare Bully is then headed over to Seney to cover for their New Holland that went down the other day.
Remember Operators are working the trails and fixing grooming equipment for you voluntarily – Thank an Operator when you see one.
Today’s Forecast: Isolated Snow Showers, 32 degrees and 5 to 20 mph S wind.
PLEASE ride with caution, stay right and be respectful, stay on the trail and off the throttle when in the towns.
Keep Snow Dancing with your friends and stay tuned for updates!
