Tuesday, March 26, 2013–7:30 a.m. – Just received this email from oue of our groomers. Thought you might be interested.

‘FYI:

Just an update this morning,3-26-2013…….I groomed out of the 48 Road Base last night (Monday)….From the 33 Road Parking Lot out to the Pine River on Trail #35 and also the Bristol Trail #358. The trails are ‘almost prime’! There was only one south sloping hill that was ice and dirt, down near State Ride, but I groomed all the way to the Pine River Bridge. Even in the Red Pine areas was very ‘ridable’! If you trailer out to the 33 Road Parking Lot, you’ll get lots of ‘BONUS MILES’ of good riding!?

It was a busy weekend with folks getting in what could be the last ride of the season. Our staging areas situated close to and in the forest were full on Saturday. There was lots of snow in the forest and the groomers had worked hard during the week to keep the trails in shape for the weekend.

The weatherman tells us temperatures could be in the 40’s this week. It certainly didn’t get there today. It was cold enough to groom today and there is still plenty of snow in the woods to do so.

The White Pine Trail is done for the season and the in-town trail is in rough shape. But, there is still plenty of nice riding in the forest. Trailer to one of the staging area listed below ( March 18) and you will be off to a great start. Beware that under the snow is ICE and it is getting closer to the surface every day.

To better access the forest trails, you’ll want to use one of the Staging Areas below:

33 Rd Staging Area–S of M-55–approx.. 3 miles west of Cadillac on M-55 (watch for signs)

Caberfae Staging Area–approx.. 12 miles west of Cadillac on M-55 (watch for signs)

Boon Staging Area–park in plowed area south of Boon Grocery

Note: The porta-a-johns were removed from our staging areas today as our contracts on them expired 3-15-13.
