SERIOUS WARM WEATHER HIT TO THE TRAILS!
Warm weather impact from two days ago was nothing compared to the past 48 hours. Very high southerly winds took the snow quickly and downed some trees so ride with caution until trails are cleared – again. We lost 80 percent of the snow that was out there making for overall POOR trail conditions. Temperatures have dropped and are forecast to stay below freezing, unfortunately nothing shown for significant snowfall. On the good side this will help the ground actually freeze now. A full trail assessment will be attempted today so Stay Tuned. We will continue to report as trail conditions change.
Past 24 hour Grooming Operations: On Hold
Forecast: Scattered Snow Showers, 27º F , Winds W 15 to 20 mph
Currently: Scattered Snow Showers, 20º F, Winds W 7 mph with Gusts to 18 mph
