Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: 5-8”
Date of Report: February 8, 2025
Area Report:
We groomed the entire system on Thursday night. Some areas covered good, others were thin on snow. We also cleared some down branches along the way. Thank you to the sledders that stopped and cleared some along the way too. It is appreciated.
It is snowing today, looks like 2-3” of a wet heavier snow. We are planning on going out tonight to do what we can with this new snow. Temps are supposed to drop and stay cold next week with a chance of more snow Friday and Saturday.
Remember to yield to the groomers. Most I met on Wednesday did just that. Stopped off of trail for me to pass or waited for me to get to a spot where I could pull off. One thought he could ride on side of snow bank past me. Thought he was going to tip sled over and hit the plow on front of groomer. I know I would have won that battle. I was in the process of backing up to a junction where it aloud them room to pass. We will signal by killing lights or flashing brights to signal it is clear to pass. Ride Right, Ride Safe.
News and Reports:
Trail 12 from the RR grade TIN 732 to County K TIN 731 has ruts from ATVs. There isn’t enough snow to fill the ruts. We put signs at each end of the trail for Caution Next 1 mile and Rough Trail. Use caution when traveling this area.
The Cemetery Trail from TIN 724 to TIN 725, and south to TIN 727 at Church Rd is thin for snow cover. You will find a few bare spots, There is a hill between TIN 725 and TIN 726 at Lindberg Rd that was bare from sleds going up it. The swamp area did freeze up, so it is good to go.
