TRAILS HOLDING IN THERE!
Unfortunately No new snow and No real changes. Light snow conditions and heavy sled traffic have our trail system in overall fair to good condition, poor in towns and near roadways. There are some icy corners, ice patches and dirty snow in the outlying areas so ride with caution. Operators were out grooming again last night but we really need some new snow soon. Looks like a few inches of snow in the forecast which is desperately needed to keep what we have from becoming worn out and unworkable. Trails are expected to get choppy throughout the day so 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 7 miles North of Shingleton West to Trail 417 Intersection, Trail 7 from CR440 North to Christmas, Trail 419 from Wetmore South, Trail 422
Forecast: Scattered Snow Showers, 30º F, Winds W 5 to 10 mph
