Good news, the little storm that we were supposed to get dumped a good 5-6″ of workable snow onto the majority of our system. We were able to get about 80% of the trails leveled out before it hit, and will start packing things in more today. Overall the trails are in really good condition. Don’t fear running anywhere on our system.

Mackinac Island treeline is up and being used. Proceed with CAUTION.

Waterhole on RR Grade up by Trout Lake is FIXED. Signs will remain for now.

Red Creek Road, on teh Cedarvill connector (trail #47) is being totally closed, with no re-route this week from 7am to 11am. It should be open after Friday.

Groomer update: #5 is down with engine problems. Lowboy is picking up tomorrow, and will will in all likelihood loose it for 2 weeks for repair, assuming parts are available. They don’t know for sure what happened, but the cylinders are at 75% compression, and one is down to 15%, and we are loosing oil. The groomer drivers are doing a very good job at handling our system with only one machine, however there will be times when outer trails like the Cedarville and Rexton connectors will have to go ungroomed for 3-4 days. Please be understanding and thumbs up a groomer when you see them – as it probably has been running for 18+ hours!

Forecast for the coming days hints at some more snow, between 2-4′, and a really nice weekend for a ride. We are heading into the heart of the season, time to lay down some miles!!
