MORE SNOW and GREAT RIDING CONDITIONS!
5 to 10 inches of fresh snow fell over the last 24 hours, heavier along the Northern part of our trail system. Operators reported excellent grooming conditions which should make for some great trail riding. Trails are in overall Very Good Riding conditions across our trail system. We are finding a light chop building in the trails prior to grooming. Please respect residential property owners and STAY ON THE TRAIL, No Snowmobile Signs mean just that. Please DO NOT run the Powerlines off of Trail 419. Our Team of volunteer Groomer Operators will continue to do their best to keep trails flat so; Get out and ENJOY the Trails Ride Safe and Stay Tuned for updates!
