FLAT TRAILS – FRESH SNOW!

Overall trail conditions are excellent with 6 inches of fresh blowing snow. Operators are reporting groomer friendly snow conditions, light traffic and perfect ribbons. Winter Storm brought something to work with and has created some drifting in the Trail 418 AuTrain area during and after grooming yesterday. Last night Keith, Terry and Dave did get the blade together for the new John Deere. Once Tom and Quest get the old John Deere 7130R fixed and moved today we can get that re-installed on the JD6175R.

Trails 8 East to 7 miles north of Shingleton and 8 West, 7 North to Christmas and south to CR440, Trail 417 to Brownstone Intersection, Trail 418, Trail 419 East and West, Trail 422 and Wetmore Spur.

Today’s Forecast: Isolated Snow, 18 degrees and 10 mph West wind.
