GREAT RIDING CONDITIONS!
Light new snow and a hard flat base have the trail system in an overall very good condition. The cold weather really has the trails holding flat through the day. We did have a groomer structural failure last night so ride with caution on Trail 7 heading toward Christmas (see warning below). We will be down a machine for a day but other than that all is good so get out and enjoy some really nice riding conditions. Keep doing the Cold Weather Snow Dancing and Stay Tuned for updates!
