Trails once again took a beating this weekend with heavy traffic.....the clubs are doing a great job keeping things smoothed out...but there is some snirt starting to appear, on the road crossings and railroad grades...there is still some ice in the corners, but with the warmer weather the trails are starting to loosen up a bit..snow is softer, and it is warm....I guess we'll see how they hold up this week with warmer weather...it's supposed to start raining here shortly, then change to a wintry mix over night with some light snow accumulations....but thats really all that is in the forecast, for the next 7 days....we simply need more snow. Lake Nokomis is dangerous off trail right now....they are dropping the water which is creating ice heaves, and holes...stick close to the barrels and markers and you will be fine...there is 22 plus inches of ice in spots...but again...don't go to far off the beaten path, lots of dangerous heaves that will send you flying, and they are very hard to see in day light....know where you are going and be careful out there...also fish trap hill is icy...use the trail that goes around if you aren't studded....or you'll go backwards, and it's a pretty steep hill.
This warm weather and lack of snow in the forecast has me nervous...trails are decent right now...but we'll see how they are come Friday
