LAKE EFFECT SNOW OFF TO A SLOW START
We did get 2 to 5 inches of snowfall over the past 24 hours, more so to the Northeast corner of our trail system. We are seeing some die hard riders out on the trails but conditions are unfavorable, visibly seen kicking up the gravel and dirt in areas. Conditions will be assessed in the morning to determine if some daytime trail prep will be productive in the few harder hit areas of snow. it is still in a waiting game so stay tuned as we keep you up to date with the trail and grooming status.
Past 24 hour Grooming Operations: None
Forecast: Increasing Clouds, High 23ºF, Winds NW 10 mph to 15 mph with gusts to 17 mph and changing to S
Currently: Clear, 19ºF, Winds W 9 mph with gusts to 17 mph
