Then a warm up for 3 may 4 days. 30’s during the day. 20’s at night. Next Friday, the 9th SNOW moving in. Couple of inches. Trail should be fine with the 5 inch plus ice base and over a foot on the trails. Actually better to few inches every few days as it makes for better results when grooming. Stay tuned. This is northern Wisconsin & never know when Lake Effect moves in. THINK COLD & SNOW. Here’s what GTS Tracking show was groomed last night. Right Click for large photo
