Sorry for the lack of reports. PC died after a windows update over the weekend.
We groomed non stop all weekend. I assure you.
Last night (Monday Night)we did not send the groomers out due to the Extreme Cold. This morning 5 am we tried to send them out. Our fuel is gelled up.
We are currently working to get them back on the trail.
Yes we know the trails are trashed right now.
Posting a bunch of pics from over the weekend.
We had several issues and worked through them in nascar pitstop fashion.
Cutting mogs North of Shingleton we broke the drag. Wing was stuck down and could not cross the bridge. This set us back 4 hours but was able to rig and groom the rest finishing Sunday morning 8am. The bison has a frozen solid air filter. The fine dust snow was not only bad for visibility. Tractor air filters suffer as well.
Doing all we can. Sorry the trails are hammered right now.
