Good overall conditions

No snowfall

0 general warnings

0 trail warnings

3 of 3 groomers in service

Miners Castle is the only trail that has not been groomed yet.
All other trails have been knocked down and groomed after the storm.

We have been out non stop when we can.

Warm temps and rain at times have been making recovery efforts very difficult.
A normal 1 hour of grooming is 4 or 5 hours.
Road crossings were the biggest challenge. The drifts we saw and had to clear were monsters.
We were running the Bison in front with no drag with a John Deere behind with a drag to mop up.

Hearing there is a lot of traffic out there. Snow conditions are not ideal for grooming.
We did a lot in warm temps and even rain at times just to try to get this all knocked flat.

We are doing all we can.

Just calling the conditions good. Some will disagree I am sure.
There is a lot of snow. With traffic there are going to be some bumps you will have to deal with.
Its warm and sloppy.
