Beautiful!!! The trails are looking great. They are grooming every day. Riders report good rides in all directions. We hope to get out tomorrow for a ride and then I can give a more detailed report. Drive cautiously. We had a rider that wrapped his sled around a tree. He was going thru the wooded curves just heading into Lakes of the North, just before the powerlines. Came around a curve, and lost control. It can happy so quickly. He said he really didn’t know what happened but suspects the snow being very loose there throwing him into a slide.

We have snow, and smooth trails to enjoy. Riders that headed south enjoyed their ride on the Blue Bear and adjoining trails. Report it was excellent riding most of the ride, and what wasn’t excellent was just down right good! .. another group went west, thru Jordan Valley and report nice riding too. They did say Alba, and beyond actually the base was thinner than Gaylord. That area which had so much snow to begin enjoyed alot of traffic past few weeks but didn’t the snow we did this past weekend.
Snow continues to be in the forecast. Yipeee . Winter is here and we’re ready to ride.
