TRAILS IN GOOD SHAPE!

No new snow but trail system is still in overall good condition, now good to fair in towns and near roadways. There are some icy corners on Trail 7 closer to Christmas and Trail 8 just North of Shingleton so ride with caution. Groomer Operators were getting very good results but new snow is needed to keep them setting good. Traffic is definitely up this weekend so trail are expected to get choppy throughout the day. Ride safe, stay right and enjoy! Keep doing the Cold Weather Snow Dancing and Stay Tuned for updates!
