Even though we had holiday weekend traffic the trails are in great shape. We had a system fly through Friday night and drop about 3″ of new snow. Riders had sunshine and white trails, but extremely cold temperatures. Yesterday was also below zero most of the day. Even today we’re only in the single digits. The sun is shining and winds are light. Looks like we have snow in tomorrow’s forecast…The guys will be out grooming again tonight. So there you have it–check in again tomorrow for another update!

Just an FYI that there’s logging activity on the east loop of our wooded trail. The area is signed but watch for changing trails conditions where the trail has been plowed for vehicle traffic. The activity stretches about 1/2 to 1 mile.

Other grooming club news is the new drag we took delivery of in January. The State approved our purchase and this drag was custom-made for us by the experts at Dubie Welding & Fabrication in Gaylord. We’re glad to support local, Michigan business with this purchase. And since this drag will be paid for with State dollars it’s nice to know your trail permit money is coming back around.

If you’re interested in supporting local grooming efforts, visit www.justgroomit.org for details on joining the Indian River Snowmobile Grooming club with a membership donation. We have hats and t-shirts (short & long sleeve) for sale too. Even when we can’t groom we still have operational expenses like insurance, two-way radio communication subscriptions, and more. Thanks to member donations we’re putting up a groomer building ,where we now store and can work on the equipment. Your support makes all the difference! Thank you–
