Woke up this morning to 8 degrees and a clear blue sky with a beautiful sunrise…..perfect.
OK, on to business. My brother from down below e-mailed me again this morning and called me a slacker again. I guess I haven`t updated since the 15th….sorry….been busy. He said ya`ll got warm down der and got rain and trashed the snow…..sorry bout dat. We hit 32 on Saturday but no rain and everything is good to go UP here. The trails were very busy this past holiday weekend. We tried to keep up the best we could. Most people understood what with all the traffic. I know they got pretty beat by the end of the day. I groomed Saturday night. If you think it is rough on a sled with a suspension, try runnin a groomer that has no suspension……dats rough!!!
We will have everything whipped into shape again by tonight. The weather looks like it will cooperate and life is good. Remember….the trails are the best during the week with less traffic. If you can make it UP on a week day you`ll be the happiest sledder in the world!!
All I got fer now LET IT SNOW Groomer Chris

Woke up this morning to 24 degrees and a light dusting of snow and a light snow falling.
As you saw in my last post I ungraded the trails to excellent shape. They remain that way…..I groomed last night….I know. So not much to write about on the trails, so lets move on to some other subjects.
Subject #1- this weekend is a holiday weekend, so the traffic is gonna be heavy. We have 3 machines and just a hand full of VOLUNTEERS ( see the list below ) driving these machines. We do the best we can trying to keep up with the bumps.
Subject #2- People are starting to ride in the clear cuts and in the burn area east of Pine Stump. There are stumps out there and people are nailing them…..be careful. Although we have about 3 feet of snow on the ground, it isn`t deep or packed enough yet and they are sticking up enough to cause trouble. You get one of these babies and you will go over the bars!!!
Subject #3- The trail now runs through town only. Trail # 451 is closed that used to bypass town. It is not our fault…..we lost permission from some land owners to cross their private property. When riding through town SLOW DOWN. The speed limit is 15 mph. DO NOT roost over drive ways and jump banks. STOP at all stop signs. We have a school and EMS building in town. The DNR and police will be watching!!! Don`t complain to me if you get a ticket for being an idiot. The police will not harrass you if you are being cool…..easy.
Thats about all I got fer now. Be carefull out there this weekend. Remember, you are not the only ones on the trail. LET ER SNOW!!! Groomer Chris
