The official last day of the season is upon us. Temps and forecast are just now starting to look like spring may happen… someday.
Trails are still in very good condition. There was a huge ton of traffic on Saturday with more trailers in Iggy then we have seen in a very long time. Trails for the most part held up OK. Things are getting loose and sloppy in a few areas for sure, but there is still 12′-24′ of base out there with over 24′ in the woods.
The forecast for this week is finally going to knock some of our snow down. The warmer March sun has taken its toll on all of the paved roads. I am going to guess that by the end of the week the plowed roads, such as East Lake Rd will be showing gravel. The trails themselves should hold for the coming weekend though. We are supposed to get some rain tonight, and maybe on Friday.
If you are looking to squeeze in one or two more rides, then the opportunity will be there. It has been a really good season around here for riding, but it is still holding on. You are still legal to ride all of the Straits trails after today- no worries. Check back later in the week, and I will post up current conditions and a mini season wrap-up.
Base: 16 inches
Snowfall Past 24 hours: 0 inches
Last Grooming: 3-30 – Sunday night – all trails.
Current Trail Conditions: Good

Trails are in very very good to excellent condition. Wednesday brought us yet more snow, with about 1′ of good wet trail snow in Iggy, 1.5′-2′ in Moran to Epoufette, and 2-4′ up in Trout Lake.
Today it is seasonable at 25d, heading to 30, then back down to the 20s for the weekend and all next week. A clipper may get us a quick 2′ on Friday night, which will make for very pretty and perfect weekend riding. Can you believe that even off-trail conditions are fantastic on March 20th!?!?
We had a little hiccup with #6 in Iggy on Tuesday and had to call AAA (haha), but groomers are running fine. There are still a few rollers on the RR Grade which are solid ice and will not be going anywhere. All of the trails are snow covered and in wide flat condition. The RR Grade has a very solid ice base with 1-3′ of cover and will hold lots of traffic, but may get a little choppy. Eventually you will need to look for ice in the corners, but maybe not this weekend.
Conditions will be fantastic the weekend, and then we have one more ‘official’ weekend the following, so don’t summerize those sleds just yet, we have a good month of riding to go, with 10 more official days.
Base: 20 inches
Snowfall Past 24 hours: 1 inch
Last Grooming: Every other weekday, and all Weekend.
Current Trail Conditions: Good to Excellent
