HIGH TRAFFIC and TWO DOWN!
It has been a high traffic extended weekend so trails are getting hit hard. We have been able to keep them in an overall good condition. Definitely the busiest weekend of the season so trails are expected to get choppy throughout the day. Unfortunately a blown seal took out our Pisten Bully last night so Trail 422 to Miners Castle and Trail 7 South to CR440 are expected to get really rough today. Hopefully we can get a matched part as soon as possible being down 2 machines again. We currently have our club owned John Deere and the Programs back-up machine covering. Also the U.P. 200 Sled Dog Race will be finishing up today so please see general warning below for details. Get out and enjoy the trails and Stay Tuned for updates!
