TRAIL REPORT, Friday, December 30, 2022 7:30 a.m.
WELL THAT DID NOT LAST LONG!
Grooming is currently on hold. Wednesday evening temperatures climbed and snow became unworkable. We have lost about 50 percent of the snow with the warm weather over the past two days. Trails are becoming choppy with dirty snow near roadways. Temperatures are forecast to drop tonight but warm days still shown for the next 10 days and NO Snowfall. Grooming will be limited once we start back up. We will have a machine out on Trail 422 to Miners Castle today getting the reroute cut in and signed. Please stay alert North of H-58. Also the Wetmore Spur East of Wetmore along M-28 is in rough condition near the big curve with steep banks. Ride with caution through there. Lets hope the forecasts change soon with cold weather and lots of snow!

Past 24 hour Grooming Operations: NONE

24 Hour Forecast: Cloudy, 21ºF, Winds W 5 mph.
Currently: Light Rain and Fog, 47ºF, Winds SW 5 mph
