Lake Snow moved through yesterday adding about 1/2-1 inch of SNOW to the wet heavy 3 inches Thursday into yesterday morning. Lots of moisture in the SNOW. The grooming before the SNOW on Thursday night & more grooming last night follow by then the cold last night has moved the trails to Fair to Good. Going to be below zero at night until Tuesday.

Another long night of grooming. Riding is GOOD. In town trails could use more SNOW. Give the groomer drivers a thumbs up & remember to pull over to let them by.
Heavy traffic near town with lots of large groups of riders. Be sure to “Right Right” even in the corners. Please remember to stop at road crossings & yield at driveways. Also there is a 55 MPH speed limit at night.
Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN. Stay by the orange reflective barrels. DO NOT think the entire lake is safe. Several sleds have gone in the water this season far from the barrels.
Please KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!
See ya on the trails!
