Our club has been working hard the last three days to get everything ready and up until today Mother Nature has been cooperating. Temperatures are sitting right around 38 degrees which is a no-go for grooming. Thankfully the trails are holding up and the temps are expected to drop below freezing in the early morning hours. Our amazing groomer operators will be hitting the trails around 4am to groom the route for the Safari. A huge thank you to Cody and Thomas for starting their days out super early for us all tomorrow!Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
