We have received nearly a foot of snow in the past week. Conditions on our trail system have improved dramatically with the new snow. Cold temperatures have locked up any standing or running water, and the groomers have been out and able to pull snow into most of the trouble spots. Should be a good weekend of riding coming up.

We received 3” of snow yesterday, with a little sleet and rain on top. This will certainly help with track lubrication, as well as helping to improve conditions. There is limited riding on The Forks Trail System. Read on for more.

The rainstorm and warm temperatures that we had at the end of last week left our trails in rough shape. Temps have cooled off well below freezing, so water is getting locked up again. Read on for full trail report.

With daytime temps in the high 40’s and night time temps in the low teens we’ve been able to continue grooming operations by night and enjoy comfortable riding conditions during the day. We groomed the entire trail system Monday night and it is in generally good shape! If weather permits we will groom Friday and Saturday nights. There’s still plenty of riding to be had once you get out from the trailheads and in-town access points… Enjoy the last few days of the season, we will be closing the lodge after lunch on Sunday, April 1st.

Warm temperatures and a strong sun this week have degraded our trails further. We will not be grooming until we get some more snow, possibly next Wednesday. Good news is that the trails are hard and flat. The trails are down to the very solid base that was established early in the season, and don’t get bumped up with traffic. Bad news is that there are icy spots, with some bare ground in places. Trails are all passable. Some sections are good, some are very poor where you have to “bob & weave” to stay on snow.
