The post Winter Storm Grayson snow stick readings from yesterday are a little off due to the blizzard’s high winds, but you can get a good idea of the total snowpack and recent accumulation:
For day riders, there is a FREE PARK & RIDE LOT at Northern Outdoors on Route 201. The large parking lot is plowed with plenty of room for snowmobile trailers. Groomed access to all trails. The Park & Ride lot is marked with a large sign on Route 201. Trail maps, 91 octane gas, food are available at Northern Outdoors.
