Ralphie, the Crew and I have to give a call out to the Young Guns!
Yesterday the NST south from "O" to Laona and then from Laona to Johnnie's was well above our expectations!
Impressed with the job that was done with such a small amount of snow to work with.
Hard & Flat Base that will make a perfect trail with just a little more snow!

Don't know how you did it but Great Job Guys!

Heard that section was good. How were the other trails you rode getting there?

All groomers who were out this weekend should have made a great base after the wet snow ans misty rain. Plus this cold weather will take care of the swamps and unsafe lakes.:thumbup:

Remaining trails were Fair with some Marginal and Poor mixed in.
Not much lubrication for slides and cooling, if you don't have scratchers you will probably wish you did.

About a half inch of dust last night should solve lube problems.

Looks like we got about ¼" of fluff last night, here in Armstrong Creek. :rolleyes:

Can anyone tell me if the railroad grade (NST) from Townsend to Long Lake/Tipler area up towards Iron River is rideable at present time? Have 2 new 2016 Renegade X800 with less then a mile on them and don't want to tear up ski's and new 7.5 shaper bars on the gravel to much.. Won't be up til Thursday or Friday and see there is a slight chance of snow before that. Thoughts please. We've been waiting patiently for conditions to improve.
