GREAT TRAILS BUT MAY BE A BIT DAMP
Overall trail conditions are very good. We have some light fresh snow with moisture helping the trail base pack well. Operators are reporting a good amount of sled traffic. The forecast has it looking like a snowy, freezing drizzle, damp weekend right around that freezing mark. It’s the U.P. though so we never really know, either way we will continue grooming operations as long as the the snow processes and does not “ball-up” on us. Dress properly, Enjoy the Trails and Ride Safe!

Past 24 hour Grooming Operations:
Trail 7 from Christmas to CR440, Trail 8 from 7 miles north of Shingleton west to Trail 417, Trail 417, Trail 418, Trail 419, Trail 422 and Wetmore Spur

Forecast: Drizzle/Snow, less than 1/2 inch, High 34ºF, Winds SE 10 mph
Currently: Drizzle/Snow, 33ºF, Winds SE 7 mph
