The trails were groomed on Saturday; trails are flat and some ice is present, especially on corners. We’ve had no new significant snow but plenty of cold! It’s sunny right now. Conditions are much the same as they were yesterday with low temperatures and wind. Please note there is a wind chill advisory today. Use caution, dress appropriately and drink plenty of water. We are forecast to get 1-3″ of snow on Tuesday, plus the bitter cold is supposed to go away for a day, with forecast temperatures in the low 20’s. Enjoy it while it lasts!

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.

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–
