Good Morning Everyone...

Well it was another cold night in the north woods with temps at -9. Today we should see the mid 20's and that will be a plus, to help soften some of the packed snow that's on the trails. A number of riders out of here yesterday reported they had "pretty good" trails on their ride that took them to Land O' Lakes, then up to Hurley. They mentioned they had a few sun worn areas, but in general trails were good. Most trails were all flat and groomed, and the only problem was lubrication needs in a few hard packed areas. So I guess we can still call the trails in the fair to good category, with some icy and hard packed areas. Our forecasts area still calling for some snow tonight (1-2inches), into Thursday with another cold front pushing through the area. With a little snow and some more grooming we should be in OK shape for the weekend. Once we get beyond this weekend, we could start running out of time, unless we see a nice spring dumping.
As far as skiing, the downhill areas are still doing great. All are power tilled and nicely groomed.
With the slightly warmer weather we are also starting to more people venture out for some sunny ice fishing.

Come enjoy the weekend,

As Always, Drive and Ride Safely.
