Snow showers expected this week and cold temps.

Trail #9 is reported in Execellent condition, about 10′ in town and more as you go North. John groomed yesterday afternoon and saw about 180 sleds. On the return trip Ben only saw 25 sleds and the trail has had time to set up nicely. There is a LOT of snow out toward Pine Stump.

Trail #45 is plowed from Skyline Road to the north 3 miles for logging. This area is very icy with large dips please be careful. This trail is in VERY good condition other than that. Lou said we can now measure the snow in feet instead of inches.

Trail #9/2 to Epoufette/ Trout Lake is in very good condition, as they did get about 8′ of snow. The spur to Trout Lake will be groomed tomorrow.

THE NORTH STORE ON CO. RD. 407,WILL BE OPEN THIS YEAR.

FYI: There will not be gas at Rainbow Lodge as they are closed due to the Duck Lake fire. There is a gas pump logo on the trail map, but they will be CLOSED.
