TRAILS GOOD BUT A GROOMING CHALLENGE!
About an two to three inches of new snowfall with the trail system in overall good condition now. Trails are slowly making a good recovery as we continue the down equipment struggle with help from neighboring clubs. One trouble spot that will be hopefully repaired today is the Wetmore Spur along M-28 from Wetmore East to Trail 422. Large moguls have been developing so ride with caution in that area. Trenary Northern Trails will continue helping on the west end and Schoolcraft Motorized Trail Association will be helping with Trail 8 North of Shingleton. Bay De Noc Snowmobile Club has also started helping with Trail 7 from the south up to the Buckhorn. With this help from our neighbors our full trail system is getting groomed, just not as frequent so trails may get choppy between runs. Trail Programs Spare Bully went down for a few hours yesterday but back up and running after stealing parts from our down Bully. Thanks to Quest and Anthony for helping out Operator Chris and to the Sheriff and C.O. who stopped and directed traffic during the repair. Be sure to Thank our neighboring clubs for helping us keep your trails rideable. Get out and ride safe, stay right and enjoy the great riding conditions! Keep doing the Cold Weather Snow Dancing and Stay Tuned for updates!
