Greetings Sledders,
Sorry for the delay, spent a fair amount of my down time Sunday evening nursing a tractor home with a broken exhaust system and all day yesterday fixing same and by the time I got home I was somewhat tuckered out.
Okay, here’s what we’ve got. Most of our segments are in good shape but caution still goes out due to the icy conditions underneath. There were a number of accidents in the area over the weekend as a result so please be careful.
Our grooming focus is on the Frederic trail and here’s the problem. During the thaw we were unable to groom but the sled traffic was still out there which, as expected moguled the trail then came the freeze. This situation puts us in a shaving mode with the drags. The blades on our Deeres are pretty much rendered ineffective in these frozen conditions and frankly I don’t want the guys to rely on them or get too aggresive with them as many bad things can and will happen.
Unfortunately there’s not much snow in the forecast for the week so we will continue to work with what we have, same story different day.
Ride Often and Please Be Safe, Keith, Sandy and The Girls

Greetings Bored Sledders,

Keith’s not feeling up to snuff tonight, so I am in charge of getting a quick report out.

Winter has finally returned and with a vengeance. Snowy, blowy and cold.

Keith took a quick ride this morning to check things out. What he found was enough snow to ride on with ice underneath. Enough ice to have him spend the rest of the afternoon putting studs on one of the tractors.

So the outlook is this: Snow will continue on and off throughout the weekend. Weather to stay cold. Rides will not be premium, but than again, they haven’t been premium all year. Grooming will be dictated by traffic.

If you do ride, please watch the ice!

Sandy, Keith and The Girls.
