FINALLY GETTING SOME SNOW!
It’s Snowing, not enough to do much with groomers yet but it’s a start. We received just enough snow to start packing and getting wet areas froze in. Forecast does not show anything substantial coming but if we at least get a few inches everyday it will help us build a flat base. For now riding conditions are not yet favorable. Stay tuned as the rideable season hopefully gets started soon.
In other news the Doty Bridge is officially open with a ribbon cutting ceremony held last weekend. (pictures below)
Past 24 hour Grooming Operations: NONE
Forecast: Scattered Snow Showers, High 25ºF, Winds NW 5 to 10 mph
Currently: Scattered Snow Showers, 21º F, Winds N 12 mph
