5" new snow

12/20/2017

0 Comments

 
Kris and Scott Maruskie packed trails in the staging area, Junior trail, Gee-haw trail, and 8 miles of the main trail system. The trail is still very bumpy between the 6-8 mile trails. ATVs are still allowed on the trails until further notice. Hopefully we will get more snow by the end of the week.

ATVs with chains recommended on trails

The 2/3 mile loop, staging area, and outbound Junior loop were structured last night. Kp & I ground up the ice and it should be runnable with an ATV.   Gee-haw and 4 mile were NOT groomed.

We also drug the alternate side including the staging area, Ed's Loop, and the upper trail to Dee Lake. The lower trail along the lake from Ed's Loop to 5 mile was not groomed as it was very rough earlier. Stay on upper trail and lollippop return.

I recommend that all vehicles on the trails have chains.

Editor's note:  The groomers spent almost 10 hours grooming trails last night. Please let them know how much you appreciate their efforts!

Trail Update - 12/5

12/5/2017

Alternate side open for training! We have lost so much snow that it is good 4 wheeler training.
The 2/3 trail is sheer ice - most likely will cut pads, but you can train at your own risk.
We do not recommend it until the snow flies!

Trails groomed through the 8-mile!

You can take an ATV completely around the 8 mile and down the inlet trail, cross the inlet and back to the main trails by the 16 mile connector. These trails aren't ready for sleds - but soon.  The junior trail is good for juniors on sleds. Please keep ATV's off the junior trails. Thanks Kris!

​Alternate side is open for training but still needs more brushing as always. Lots of water from the most recent rain.

The 2-and 4- mile trails were groomed on Saturday April 8.  The 3-mile trail will be groomed Sunday.  Get your mushing in before noon, while the trails are still firm!

Groomer's Report from K.R.

3/24/2017

The 2-12 mile trails plus Beach Lake are groomed.  Clunie plus 14-mile swamp is good for distance teams.  Beach Lake cleaned up well with two passes, still some bumps from drifting snow on northside.

Inlet trail punchy

The portion of trail crossing the inlet is not compacted.  Dogs were breaking through the crust into sugar-snow below.  Take it slow until further notice.  The rest of the trail system is in excellent condition!
