Trail conditions remain Good to Excellent throughout the system. I received the following report from Al Green our Trail Coordinator this morning: ‘…excellent trails south of M-55 and some trails north of M-55. Trail #37 was a little choppy, but not bad and it is being groomed today. Still some ice in the corners but all is WHITE with the 2′-3′ of fresh snow last night. Not much sled traffic on Tuesday and Wed. but it should start picking up again later tonight and tomorrow.’

Temperatures are expected to remain rather chilly throughout the weekend and additional snow is expected.

January 19, 2014

We picked up another 3 inches of snow today. The wind has been blowing it around so it looks like we got a lot more than that. Al Green, our Trail Coordinator, was grooming the White Pine Trail this morning and said there were times when he could barely see where he was going. He said the trail groomed up nicely going south but when he turned around and headed back north he found places where the snow had made drifts over the trail again. He commented he didn’t see much ice on the White Pine Trail. Between 9:30 a.m and 10:30 a.m. he saw 41 sleds.

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