0 general warnings

0 trail warnings

We are getting lake effect snow today in the North Eastern sections of our trail.
All of the trails are being reported in great condition.

The Prinoth has been back out grooming and is running normally.

The 6155 John Deere has been having low fuel pressure issues. It is tied to the cold temps.
We are working with our fuel suppliers to ensure we have the proper additives.

This morning the John Deere 6175 smoked a front planetary.
We have it recovered back to our shop.
John Deere has ordered the needed parts. We hope to have it back up Thursday.
