Mother Nature musta had a migraine Sunday cause we sure felt her wrath!! It got up into the low 40`s and a steady 30 mph wind and rain….just plain nasty!!
No worries though, the trails survived just fine. We are the only club in this area that can groom in those conditions because of the drags we use!!! We can lay a ribbon down that looks like wet cement above freezing. It really helps when the temps drop cause the moguls don`t freeze in.
All trails remain in excellent shape and no water holes opened up, sooooo…everythings good to go for our big Mardi Gras this weekend. The weather is supposed to get back to normal today with alittle snow here an there.
Come on UP to the best trails in the area!!! – Groomer Chris
