We survived the meltdown and are out grooming our trails.

Due to closing yesterday our trail surface remains groomable. That said it is a slow process several times over to soften the surface. The result is a nice loose granular trail surface. Give us some time, dress warm then come out and enjoy!

Note: we are grooming on our Western Trail Network first today. This area has excellent wind protection. Call ahead for update 374-2277
