TRAIL REPORT, Wednesday, February 22, 2023 6:30 a.m.
A FEW MORE INCHES OF FRESH SNOW AGAIN!
We had a few inches of snow fall overnight with conditions slowly improving. Overall most of our main trails are in a good condition. Dirty snow near towns with just a dusting of snow on pavement. Trails still have a few icy areas so be careful in the corners. On Trail 418 from just East of AuTrain West to Trail 417 South the base is icy and still a bit gravely. The remainder of our Trails have a hard, fairly flat base. The layer of sugary snow we have had is starting to improve with the fresh snowfall. It is snowing right now so conditions should continue to improve. Keep a close eye on trail conditions as you ride and stay right. Stay tuned for updates!
