LAKE EFFECT SNOW ENGINE SPUTTERING
We did get 4 to 5 inches of snowfall over the last few days but still not enough to do anything productive. Lake Effect Snow is scattered throughout the 10 day forecast but no substantial amounts listed. Weather forecast changes day by day and all we can do is hope for the best and continue the snow dances.
Still in a waiting game so stay tuned as we keep you up to date with the trail and grooming status.

Forecast: Snow Showers and Blustery, High 24ºF, Winds NW 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph, 1 inch of snow forecast
