Light snowfall

0 trail warnings
We continue to cover the trails with 2 of 3 groomers in service.
Plans have been made with a contractor to recover the broken tractor Monday – Tues.
Parts will be arriving Wednesday along with mechanic from Prinoth. It should be back in service Thursday.
What we are facing is not normal by any means. Splitter Box Failure. We are questioning the lubricant we have been using.
Oil samples will be taken and we will be working with the lubricant manufacturer.
This is now the second time we have had a failure in the splitter box.
We are doing all we can to ensure this does not happen again.
