There’s no change to report from yesterday. Even though grooming wasn’t on the schedule our club president ran one of the groomers last night. The other one will groom tonight. Conditions are smooth. We’ve got some snirt in the mix and the base is thin. But there’s riding to be had and conditions are even better in the woods. The railroad grade gets the most traffic so it has a thinner base than the woods. The farther you get out from the arteries the better conditions are. We’re enjoying some sunshine right now but the thermometer is only at 8 degrees. BRRR…The forecast is for sunny skies and temps around 27 the next two days. Friday looks like a great forecast for snow. We will sit tight and keep an eye on the radar. Until then, have a great Wednesday!

Just an FYI that there’s logging activity on the east loop of our wooded trail. The area is signed but watch for changing trails conditions where the trail has been plowed for vehicle traffic. The activity stretches about 1/2 to 1 mile.

Other grooming club news is the new drag we took delivery of last week. The State approved our purchase and this drag was custom-made for us by the experts at Dubie Welding & Fabrication in Gaylord. We’re glad to support local, Michigan business with this purchase. And since this drag will be paid for with State dollars it’s nice to know your trail permit money is coming back around.

If you’re interested in supporting local grooming efforts, visit www.justgroomit.org for details on joining the Indian River Snowmobile Grooming club with a membership donation. We have hats and t-shirts (short & long sleeve) for sale too. Even when we can’t groom we still have operational expenses like insurance, two-way radio communication subscriptions, and more. Thanks to member donations we’re putting up a groomer building ,where we now store and can work on the equipment. Your support makes all the difference! Thank you–

No change to report from yesterday’s update. Traffic has quieted down to almost nothing and the guys groomed last night. There is snirt in places but trail conditions are smooth. Tonight is equipment night (no grooming) but they’ll be back on the trails grooming tomorrow night. Today we’re enjoying blue skies but single-digit temps. Just an FYI that there’s logging activity on the east loop of our wooded trail. The area is signed but watch for changing trails conditions where the trail has been plowed for vehicle traffic. The activity stretches about 1/2 to 1 mile.
