Information is traveling rather slow up here because of the storm. Many folks have spent the entire morning just trying to get out of their house or driveway.

Anyway, I spoke with our groomer boss and he said all but himself and another operator were still snowed in as of late this morning. Yesterday, the groomer boss had use a groomer without a drag to go and rescue a stuck groomer/drag out in the bush.

No grooming is going on until tomorrow (Tuesday, Feb 26th) morning.

Because of the amount of snow and the 70 mph+ winds, trails will need to be opened up by a groomer without a drag and then can be hit with a groomer and drag. So it will take a few days for all trails in our system to get back up to full speed.

Those heading out to ride today and tonight should exercise caution, as there are many sections impassable by a trail-sled at the moment.

Wow!
It is not often that there is too much of that white stuff.

I have rode a few times when the roads were closed. Sometimes that can be a good or bad thing.
Got a call from home while I was riding in one of "those" storms. Conversation was basically about when I was coming back. My answer was simple. Not before the roads were open. No way to drive home. It actually ended up being a pretty long ride. Wasn't sure if I wanted to go home. :wink:

Ha Ha! I suppose it all depends on who you talk to! But the numbers that think we have had too much are growing!

It was really not so much the snow, but the winds/drifting. I am hearing drifts of 4-8 feet on MOST of the country roads. School is already canceled again for tomorrow. That pretty much never happens! In fact, if it were not for the winds/drifting, I bet kids would have gone to school today.

It is getting VERY deep though and lots of folks have run out of places to put it and most start the season by plowing all the way to their lot line so that they have room to put the snow we get in an average season.
