GETTING BACK UP
We are taking a hit on the trails with high traffic and only having one groomer right now. Our Bully is down until Tuesday so we are in the process of getting the spare working this morning. Please understand we are doing everything we can to keep two machines grooming the trails. Trenary Northern Trails has also offered and will be helping us on the West end while we are a machine down. Ride Right, have fun and watch for Groomers!
TRAILS CHOPPY BUT HOLDING
The Deere has been working solo and extra hard with the trails grooming out well. Overall our trails are in good condition. Trail 417 and 418 are scheduled for grooming today with the spare machine.
Operator Quest was out last night with Trail 8 from Trail 7 North to 7 miles North of Shingleton groomed.
Today’s Forecast: Sunny, 23 degrees and 5 mph E wind.
PLEASE follow the trail onto the shoulder of M-28 at the railroad crossing. DO NOT cross directly over the railroad tracks. This is a safety concern for riders, a potential for train derailment and/or loss of a trail crossing.
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!
