Four inches of new snow fell on Sunday night. Groomed and set tracks on Monday. Windy forecast may have some drifting in areas near open wetlands, but conditions overall should be good until the next snow.

Several inches of fluffy new snow with tracks well set and a good base all around. Temps were around zero but almost no wind in the woods so all was very enjoyable with the right layers of clothing. Lovely rolling hills in some parts and a few steeper hills to keep things interesting. What a great day to be out on the trails and a beautiful setting.

Three inches of light and fluffy snow last night. Groomed all trails and set tracks. Snow was very light and the near 0 low tonight should help firm up the tracks.

Freezing rain Sunday night coated everything in ice. Groomed all trail segments today and lowered the rakers on every trail segment to break up the icy conditions. Tracks in fair condition but far from excellent.

Deep, new snow (11-12 inches). Needed to pack with Sherpa snowmobile first, then groomed and set track on all but the Shelter Trail. Plan to complete all trails late next week.
