Unfortunately the trails close today. We didn’t receive the amounts of snow that we wanted but we did what we could with what we had. We were hoping for a blast of snow to end the season but it never happened.
I would like to thank everyone that rode our trails and frequented our local businesses. I would also like to give a huge shout out to the landowners that allow us across their properties. Without them our trails wouldn’t be possible!
We will be heading out this morning to finish closing gates and picking up signage. So with the possibility of some snow this weekend remember that the trails are closed and please respect our private land owners.
Have a great summer and we will see you next fall!

Unfortunately, we only got one and a half to maybe 2 inches of snow from this storm. All the heavier stuff went south of us. So at this time, it does not look likely that we will be doing any grooming.

We just got done hooking the drag back up to the Bully. The area received 5 to 8 inches of snow earlier in the week. Depending how much snow we get with this impending storm we might be able to groom some select trails.
As of now the National weather service has us in 8-12”. We will see what happens.

If anyone happens to take a ride across Clear Lake. Just be aware that the trail markers were pulled this morning.

When we canceled the meet and greet last time because it was too cold, we had mentioned we are rescheduling for March 7. Obviously, we are not doing that tomorrow because of no snow. Just wanted to throw it out there to make sure nobody shows up and we are not there.

Unfortunately we are losing our snow real fast. So we are taking advantage of the weather we have and we’re brush cutting some trails before the ice melts.
Today we widened out the trail just west of Porcupine Lake and part of Dam Brook Trail. This will make a much nicer trail for next season.
Tomorrow we will be going to highway 169 and work our way east a couple miles.
