Date of Report: November 29, 2024
Area Report:
We’ve received 12″+ of the fluffy White stuff thus far and it’s still coming down. All heads have spoken and have the green light to go!! So what that means? Machines will start Monday (December 2nd 2024) Opening gates, setting trails, clearing debris and hazards, and filling water holes with snow and assessing swamps. Once all trails have been set we will begin packing and panning to create a Base. Then the grooming will start with mother nature cooperating of course. So far everything is looking good for an early start to the 24/25 season.
We’ll start updating more regularly with the winter season upon us. Thanks Everyone ❄️❄️❄️
