LIGHT NEW SNOW, MAIN TRAILS FULLY OPEN, SOME CLEARING STILL NEEDED
Overall fair to good trails with light new snow. Working on Trails 418, 417 and 422 but still in poor condition with downed trees. Trail 422 is getting worked on and hopefully opened today with grooming tonight if all goes as planned.
The Pisten Bully was repaired by Jake yesterday morning (bad alternator wire) and Sean ran it east to Shingleton and cleaned up the Tanglewood North section of Trail 8. Chris ran the Big Deere west on Trail 8 to Slapneck Road and Trail 7 North into Christmas.
A BIG THANK YOU!
Today Alger SORVA would really like to thank snowmobiler’s Joe and Kim for clearing another 2.5 miles of Trail 418 for us. Also thank you to snowmobiler Brandon and Ashley for their trail clearing work. All this help from riders is greatly appreciated and will get grooming operations back on track much sooner.
Past 24 hour Grooming Operations:
Trail 8 from Shingleton to Trail 417 Intersection, Trail 7 North to Christmas, Trail 419 to Wetmore, Wetmore Spur and Trail 8 North 7 miles from Shingleton.
