SOME GOOD SNOW BUT MUCH MORE NEEDED!
This is the toughest part of the season for groomer operators and riders holding back so we can build a good, clean base. This storm that blew through brought bands of 6 to 12 inches of fine wet snow across our trail system. A little more has fallen in areas but with the ground not frozen a third of that has melted. We packed in Trail 8 North of Shingleton hoping it will freeze in good over the next few days. Lots of water holes out there with soft ground. Details below on specific trail segments. Trail Reports will be every few days as we continue getting them ready and the snow arrives. Do your snow dances because we really need a lot more to get a good base build going. Stay Tuned!
Past 24 hour Grooming Operations: Currently on Hold packing areas that can be.
Forecast: Scattered Snow Showers to Mostly Sunny, 22º F, Winds NW 15 to 20 mph
Currently: Snow Showers, 8º F, Winds NW 20 mph Gusts to 31 mph, 1 to 2 inches accumulation
