Trail Conditions 1-19-06

:wowza: - That says it all. All sections of the trail system are in great shape. I rate them at 4 out 5, only because I would like to see another foot+ to hit that perfect 5. No rocks anywhere, and icy sections have all been covered. Both groomers ran yesterday, and are both scheduled to run again for the next week.

Trails are smooth with at least a 6" packed base. St. Ignace has about 6", and the outer system is about 8-14" Getting into/out of the towns is now OK. Groomer Nick said there were quite a few sleds on the trail yesterday, and that is good to hear.

I will post a trail pic later today. We put up some nice new signs over the last couple of days.

We are supposed to get some more tonight, then have a nice weekend:

Well, I just spent all morning re-aligning the tracks on the new machine. A normal thing during break-in. It is good I have an understanding boss!

Trails are great! Snow covered - smoooooth and fast.

OK you got me, you spend $150,000 and all you get is this darn keychain! But I was telling the truth, it was on the trail this morning, that is my key to the groomer, and I did that test run this morning!

By the way, it is still snowing here, we are supposed to get at least 2" today/tonight.
