Groomers were out this morning and will continue to groom this afternoon and evening. Cold temps and snow are in the forecast so we are running as scheduled and riding as much as possible. 23 inches of snow on the ground and trails have and average of 6-8 inches. The weekend did cause some snirt in the corners but we have been receiving light snow all day and are optimistic that all will be white again soon.
