MERRY CHRISTMAS! – It’s SNOWING 🙂
Alger SORVA wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and great time with Family and Friends.
Good news – our trail grooming forecast is looking good with the Lake Effect machine finally starting up this season. Hopefully this keeps up for a few days so we can get started cutting the trails in. As of right now we are seeing the typical bands of light to medium snowfall moving across the area. This morning we finished a few loose ends and staged all the equipment in and around the groomer building. We are more than ready to go and now it’s just a waiting game.
Stay tuned as we keep you up to date with the trail and grooming status.
