One Month Left – Get Out There And Ride!
Days are getting longer with snow conditions starting to change with the added sunlight. No significant changes with a dusting of new snow and trails in an overall good condition. Operators were reporting very good results with our trails primarily in very good condition east of M94. The west side Trails are in good condition but we are finding have not been holding as long due to the lighter grooming equipment. Trails are expected to get choppy throughout the day. Operators are doing what they can with the tools at hand as we are still waiting for the return of our Big John Deere. Get out and Enjoy the Trails, Ride to the Right and Stay Tuned for updates!
