Trail Conditions: Early Season
Snow Cover: 12-14”
Date of Report: December 28, 2022
Area Report:
Trails are in excellent shape. Not all the lakes are marked yet, so remember, if it isn’t marked, it isn’t safe to cross yet. Pioneer Lake near Maple View has been marked.
Trails are smooth, corners are icy as usual with early season riding. You may encounter a tree down on a trail, so ride right, ride safe.
News and Reports:
Trail Boss Chad reported last night he was able to make it through the Cemetery trail and it is now open.
I’ll be grooming tonight, we are down one grooming tractor, so I’ll be covering as much as I can with the Tucker.
If you find a condition that you need to report to the Conover Sno-Buddies like a down tree, water on the trail, etc, either message us on Facebook, use the contact page on our website, or even notify a local establishment. They know how to get a hold of us to fix the issue.
A reminder to ride between the orange blazers. Along Hwy K West, there were several 100 trees removed this summer to place new electric poles. Most of the stumps are still there. If you were to hit one, it could ruin your trip quickly. Ride Right ➡️ Ride Safe.
