13 below this morning with 3-5 inches of snow since yesterday with blowing and drifting big time. Soo to Kinross and Kinross to Raco have had groomers on most of them. They are rideable but not great for smooth yet, still some water issues but you can get your sled around them. The rest of the trails are in good condition.

Sault Ste. Marie to Brimley, Trail #8 –

Base 23- 5 inches -Trail is in Good Condition. Watch for logging trucks the last 2 miles before Brimley, they are using the grade to haul, so a portion is plowed.
