DOING OUR BEST TO KEEP IT TOGETHER!
About four to five inches of new snowfall with the trail system dropping to an overall fair to good condition now. We are continuing the down equipment struggle with help from neighboring clubs. With only one machine running the core of our trail system it has been very hard to keep up. We are doing our best but the smaller, lighter equipment is making it very difficult. Thank our neighboring clubs for helping us keep your trails rideable. Get out and ride safe, stay right and enjoy the great riding conditions! Keep doing the Cold Weather Snow Dancing and Stay Tuned for updates!
