TRAILS SHAPING UP GREAT!
We received another inch or two of new snow making for a trail system in overall good condition, now good to fair in towns and near roadways. Light Lake Effect Snow continues today with gusty winds in the forecast so there may be some drifting snow on the trials. There may also be some underlying icy corners on Trail 7 closer to Christmas and Trail 8 just North of Shingleton so ride with caution. Groomer Operators were getting very good results with the new snow again last night so a great weekend for riding is expected. Ride safe, stay right and enjoy! Keep doing the Cold Weather Snow Dancing and Stay Tuned for updates!
Past 24 hour Grooming Operations: Trail 8 from West Trail 417 intersection East to 7 miles North of Shingleton, Trail 418 from AuTrain East, Trail 419, Trail 7 from CR440 North to Christmas, Trail 422 to Miners Castle, Wetmore Spur.
