GROOMING OPERATIONS ON HOLD

Not good – Overall trail conditions are fair to poor with almost a half inch of rain again today. Storm coming but not the needed cold, more rain and heavy wet snow. Trails were starting to show dirt in some corners with standing water. Trail 418 just east of Au Train has some bare areas and flowing water. Overall not good until we get a serious amount of new, dry snow and colder temps. When temperatures permit we will attempt a salvage of what is left but for now grooming operations are hold until further notice.

Do a cold weather and snow dance, it’s needed – Enjoy the Trails and Ride Safe!

Past 24 hour Grooming Operations:
On hold until weather / snow conditions permit.
