Snowmobile trails are being groomed and are in good shape, with the additional 6-8 inches of snow we received from the last storm. Sections of trail are snirty, and conditions will deteriorate with heavy weekend traffic. Groomer drivers are reporting the best conditions of the year. As always, watch out for two groomers/tractors running close behind one another…sometimes they run in tandem.
