Winter Wonderland

It's a wonderland out there.... Here's the first thing in the morning grooming report for the Rail Trail....
"I groomed from Bonanza to 248 late yesterday afternoon. There was over a foot of much needed new snow on the trail. I'd like to start track-packing from 248 down to Wanship later this week and maybe even start grooming that section "

Woo-hoo!!

and more snow

Looks like we have almost a foot of new snow overnight and more coming. Will get the grooming reports posted as soon as they come in but it sure would be fun to go snowshoeing today

SNOW!

New snow overnight and it is snowing again right now so the thin spots should be covered and our winter trails should be in good shape. We're are heading out to see Santa come down the Town Lift
