SNOW TIRED BUT TRAILS GOOD!
Overall Trails are in Good condition with our entire trail system groomed in the past 48 hours. Snow has become sugary with all the traffic and grooming since the last snowfall. We still have hazardous water holes on Trail 418 so ride and cross with extreme caution (Map in images showing locations). Signs now mark both locations. T. Keep a close eye on conditions as you ride and stay right. Groomers were in the barn Monday night and into Tuesday for a monthly melt down and maintenance. They are currently out working the trails again. Stay tuned for updates!
