Greetings Sledders, We picked up a couple of inches of Lake Effect fluff which doesn’t do us much good in terms of firing up the groomers. Not grooming is sad on two fronts: A, it tells you the overall condition of the trails and B, we have a brand spankin’ new groomer barn and we… Read More >

The dreaded snirt has arrived. The trails are currently in poor condition. The kicker to this is the… Read More >
Happy New Year!
Greetings sledders, We got about 3 inches Tuesday night…we were hoping for more but you take what you can get. Groomers are out and will continue to run as long as the snow will allow.

Greetings Sledders, We picked up about 7″ of heavy wet stuff so far and it looks like we could get maybe another inch or two tonight. The groomers are panning and considering the temperature forecast the panning efforts could be a good start to a base. Keep in mind this is the first real snowfall that… Read More >

Brushing finished. Some grading yet to do. We are building a new HDQ. building across from the airport. We will now be able to keep the tractors in a heated building which should help with icing of the tracks.
