Greetings Sledders,        Another season is coming to a close and it’s time to wrap this report up.     We hope that you found the information that was posted here over the course of the season to be accurate, honest, and helpful and that you all got plenty of decent riding.     It’s been a trying year weather… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         The trails are currently in very good condition and  should stay that way until we start warming up this weekend. The forecast is calling for partly cloudy skies and high temps in the low 30’s on Friday which shouldn’t take the trails out but could be a start in that direction depending on traffic. Saturday… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         We weathered all of the weather, good and bad. The rain was minimal in its overall effect in fact it may have helped in the long run as the snow that you were riding on and we were grooming was just beginning to show signs of fatigue. About a nano second after the… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         We have a better idea as to what to expect weather wise this weekend. It looks like scattered rain and freezing rain will start late in the afternoon Saturday and change over to snow sometime during the night. Snow totals don’t look to be great but the wind is supposed to be on… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         What a weekend. Two tractors vs hundreds of sleds. I’d bet on the sleds winning out every time and that certainly was the case last weekend. It took us until Monday but we got all the trails back into very good condition and it looks like they will stay that way thru Friday…. Read More >

Update – we received at least six inches of snow Wednesday. More is predicted. Time to ride! Greetings Sledders, If we get what is forecast, which by the looks of things we will, or at least come close, the trails should end up in good to very good condition. Groomers are running full bore and… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         Well here we go again, another gut punch just when we were dialed in with some very nice conditions.     Too much warmth and humidity followed by too much rain and we are back to icy conditions.     To add insult to injury we had a breakdown Friday night and two and a half days… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         Very quickly, I’ve been grooming for 8 hours and I’m out of gas.     The trails are very good. Plenty of snow cover that is compacting very tight and is making the best base that I’ve seen in several years.        The groomers are on the normal schedule which means a single tractor to Lovells,… Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         Very quick update, been plowing all day and I’m pooped. All systems are go, conditions are very good. We haven’t had snow fall like this in many years. There is the potential for a base to develop that is even better than the great base that we have now. More on that later…. Read More >

Greetings Sledders,         At last some good news or at least a good forecast, one that is almost a sure bet. Widespread snow will fall overnight and throughout the day tomorrow. Predictions are in the 4-6″ range with locally heavier amounts. I hope we live locally but will be happy with whatever we get.         The groomers… Read More >
