Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: 4-6"
Date of Report: December 30, 2021
Snowmobile Information:
Not a lot of change from Monday, thanks to cold temps and minimal sled traffic. I have not been on my sled yet, so I go from groomer report, and pickup truck. I will note that trail 1, Stearns Lake Road, is sketchy up to Plummer Lake Road, but has a better coverage north to East Boundary, and the sleds are carving the banks. 17, the grade, is thin, but holding, and 5 going in to the casino has more snow but holding up to traffic so far. North on 17 in the marsh is thin to bare out in the open where the wind gets at it. When we finished groomer repair, my daughter and I went on patrol by car up trail 1, and stopped to do some one on one rider interviews. A group that came up from Woodruff reported good but thin, and thanked our club for the work. Another group came from Mercer and reported thin in town there, but overall pretty decent ride down to The Bear Stube. Positive comments, no complaints, and people are glad to ride. Northern Hornshoe Team will be marking our lakes tomorrow, Friday, except Fence Lake. The big lake has some areas of concern yet. Early season conditions, so stay alert, ride safe, and thank your clubs and volunteers for their tireless efforts to bring happy trails to you. Mark
