Greetings Sledders,         First and foremost we would like to thank everyone that stayed with us this winter. We do appreciate your business.     I hope that the reports provided you with some useful information during another difficult season to report on given the usual ups and downs in the weather.    I just finished up the totals for grooming… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         Quick update. I wouldn’t ordinarily generate a report so closely behind the last one but conditions have changed and I know many of you want to come up this weekend and may be apprehensive based on my last report.         We didn’t get anything out of the system that just went through but we are now… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         The trails can only endure so many body blows by the Sun and this last round has taken its toll.     Here is the latest poop by segment:     Trail #7 from Grayling to Frederic is poor.     Trail #679 fared better and is snow covered from Frederic to the intersection of #79.     Trail #79… Read More >

How much depends on which forecast you are looking at and I keep hearing 2-3″ so we will go with that and talk about something else.         I just got back… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         Well the Sun didn’t behave and we lost a fair amount over the last couple of days. I groomed the trail South of M-72 yesterday and it’s getting pretty thin and icy. North of 72 the snow gradually gets heavier but it is also crusty from the daytime sunshine and nightly re-freezing.         I… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         Had to wait on getting something out until I had a chance to groom the Frederic trail to see first hand how it weathered yet another weekend of above freezing temps. That trail segment is like all the rest in that there are good stretches of white snow and stretches of snirty snow and I… Read More >
