Snow VP

Well, most of the snow that we received last week melted, but we expected that. We are getting some more now, but not enough to ride.
The major wind storm that the state got last week did some fair damage to the trails. All received minor tree problems, but a few got hit quite hard. A few members have been working the Western trails quite hard cleaning up the downed trees. For the most part, that is cleaned up, but they tell me that we are going to have to send the groomer out to push the stumps of a few of the large trees off the edge of the trail.
We still have to go and replace all of the recalled signs that were already put up. I think that is scheduled for the first week of December.
Think deep snow.
A reminder, regardless of the snow depth, the DNR says that the trails do not officially open until Dec 1. No grooming can begin before this, and riders are not supposed to be on the trail before then.
