Good morning! As of 7:30am, Groomer Mike is busy setting tracks and snow combing the Trapper’s Cabin, Rolling Hills, Mackinaw Cut, Wild Turkey, and Manitou trails this morning (Tall Pines and Adventure will be snowcombed today, but are too thin for good tracks). There is approximately 8″ of snow in the woods, and 4-5″ of packed snow on the trails. We are forecast for quite a bit of accumulation in the next 30 hours (7 to 11″), so plan on a snowy weekend in winter wonderland, with some fun events (see below), great food, and great times at the Headquarters. The Stone Turtle Cafe is open for lunch and drinks.
Today’s forecast: “Snow showers early, with a steadier snow developing late. High 31F. Winds E at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 100%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches. ”
