2 of 3 Groomers in Service
The Bison blew a hydro line this evening.
We will be getting it repaired in the morning. (parts)
Regarding Conditions –
Saying Rough only because we have not groomed and there are drifts and trees.
Some people would call them excellent but trail riders will most likely get stuck.
Groomers will be out tomorrow during the day.
The Bison has packed in the following…
7 from Xmas to Buckhorn
418 from Xmas to Wetmore to 420 to 8 to Shingleton.
The official amount of snow in our area is 52 inches from this storm alone!
This does not include drifts that are absolute monsters.
This is the kind of dumping where groomers are getting stuck.
What has been packed in so far has been challenging to put it lightly.
We should have them all groomed in the next 24 hours if all goes according to plan.
Shout Out to all of the snowplow drivers, and the electric company lineman!
Excessive Snow
