We groomed last night and again this morning. We covered most of our Michigan trails (that’s the trails towards Chittenden and we also go out to RD59 towards Barnard this morning and to services. Overall conditions are really good. In areas, there are still some wet spots and some bare spots. As always, use caution. Have fun out there!
Our trails are generally in good shape now. There is still ice underneath the snow in areas, so use caution. It’s 39 degrees in town right now and the snow is soft and wet. Cold temps should be back overnight and stick around hopefully for awhile. We’ll be out grooming when possible to get things back into great shape as soon as we can. Have fun and as always, ride with caution!
The snow has started and we’re supposed to get enough to help get the trails back into good shape. Groomer should be out in the morning. If you ride tonight or tomorrow, right with caution. Ice will still be there, just covered up. Hopefully the snow sticks to it! When riding in fresh snow, try to help pack down by not riding in the same track as everyone else. That just helps us when we groom.
And we’re on twitter – all posts to our site will update there as well and we will see about other ways we might use it, such as quick tweets from the trail..etc.

Looks like another warm up this week, followed by some rain towards the end of the week. It doesn’t look like it will have too much of an impact since our trails are in great shape and we survived heavy rain two weeks ago, we can certainly survive some light rain and warmer temps. As always use caution if you are out riding. Looks like we get back into some cold weather Friday night.
Groomer was out last night and this morning grooming the last few trails that hadn’t been groomed since the snow Tue/Wed. Overall our trails are in great shape (best so far this season!) with a few rough spots. As always, use caution, ride to the right and have a fun time out there!
Groomer was out again last night. So all our trails have been groomed since last Friday now. They are starting to shape up and with more snow today/tonight and cold temps we should continue to see them improve. Just be aware there are still some wet spots and water holes on the trails. Ride with caution as always and expect hazards to still be out there.
All the trails in our Michigan (73/74/745) area have been groomed between Friday and Saturday. This is where the best riding is. We also groomed to Rd59 last night via 100S. That is also in good condition. The rest of our trails will be groomed when possible. Many sections are in rough shape with bare spots or standing water. Use caution when riding. Weather this week looks good so we expect conditions to improve. We are lucky to be in the shape we’re in considering the number of trails we have near water and what the water did in some sections. I’ve posted some pictures below. The trail by the wall at riverside is a river. We recommend avoiding this until we can get permission to detour around or fix it.
We’re hoping the majority of wet areas on our trails freeze overnight and we have done some grooming to improve some sections that were hit hard. Grooming will continue over the weekend. Groomed sections overall are in great shape, although even the groomed sections can have unexpected hazards. As always, ride with caution.
We got out to check some of the trails today. Overall, things look pretty good – certainly better then I expected! There are some bad spots on some sections of trails though and some very wet spots on other sections. We aren’t going to change the status of the trails at this time. The wet areas need to freeze and we need to groom what we can. We’ll be grooming as soon as possible and expect many of our trails to be ride-able tomorrow. Here’s some pictures from my ride today.
Sad to post this as things looked so great just a few days ago. With the heavy rain and warm temps today, we’re going to close our trails until things freeze up again and we are able to check them out. If we lost too much snow in the valley, we may need to keep some sections closed. We’ll be updating as soon as we can assess, so please check back before riding.
