Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 01/28

Greetings Sledders,

First of all I feel for everyone who had to endure the lousy trail conditions last weekend but our hands were tied because we cannot groom wet snow. It bridges between the cutting edges and will not flow under the pans on our drags. The snow simply accumulates, balls up and overflows onto the trail as groomer turds. Groomer turds are okay when they are soft but become a hazard when frozen. Trust me when I tell you that it’s been no walk in the park grooming after three days of heavy weekend traffic.

We were able to get back to grooming business yesterday morning and all of the trails have been hit twice and they came out better than I thought they would.

Trail #7 South of M-72 and from here to Frederic has more snirt that I would like to see but that is pretty much par for the course as both of those segments are riddled with corners. With above freezing temps, light rain, heavy traffic and no grooming and no new snow the snirtty condition comes as no surprise. The rest of the trails are in good shape. A couple of more passes with the groomers and the remnants of the moguls should be gone.

I’m calling the trails fair to good with loose snow over packed snow as the base. I never assign a numerical value to the description of the base. More on that in the next report.

Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
Keith, Sandy and The Girls & Boys

Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 01/23

Greetings Sledders,

A very quick update as I am running on fumes.

I’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback from the drivers and from sledders in terms of the trail conditions and I’m calling them good to very good. We got about 3" today and it helped to sweeten things up on the Frederic trail. The unknown is the weather and as of right now it looks like the probability of liquid precip is quite low.

Two of us spent the better part of today filling the water holes behind the fairgrounds with 30 yards of 3" stone and the impasse has been resolved. These are the ones between Lewiston Grade Rd and M-93. The water crossing the Lovells trail between mile markers 47-10 and 47-11 is still there so use caution.

The military training that I talked about in the last report will not impact the Lovells trail or roads out in the off trail areas.

Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
Keith, Sandy and The Kids
