OK, not so good here. We are done out of Iggy. Trails would be ridable if you trailered to castle rock road, and you would have issues with the dam road when you got there. Thing is, all the rain turned everything to solid ice. Absolutely no snow to work with, so I am not risking running the groomer on that stuff.

Talked to Dave, and Moran is about dirt, the rest is ice. The dam road is dirty ice off Brevort Lake road, probably ice/snow otherwise.

Just talked to Wayne, and he thinks the Northern trails are savable. He is going to call me later tonight and may run tonight, or tomorrow evening at the latest and rip some material up, and bring what snow there is from the sides to the middle to give something to ride on. That will all be North of Moran, everything else is ice, yep we are back to that.

Also talked to a guy who just talked to the Rudyard groomer, and the trail from Rudyard to strongs has water standing in all the low spots, very tough riding, and they probably will not groom either.

The season isn’t done yet folks. If we can pray from some snow, with the ice base I can bring these trails back to life, but I just can’t recommend riding on pure ice, which a lot of our lower trails will be. The Northern trails will be usable, just be careful, and you will have to trailer to get to them. Wayne is welcoming trailers at his shop in Cut River this weekend if you want to park and ride.

A few pics below show the ice on the Grade out of town, a bare spot by hay lake, and Castle Rock Rd.

I want everyone to know what they are getting into here, so whatever you do this weekend, where ever you go, be safe and have fun.
