This will be the last day of grooming for a few days. Groomer Butch will snow comb all the trails this morning. Expect many great stretches, fast downhills, occasional crusty spots, and bits of debris from the wind. Classic tracks are glazed over. Please be warned that Manitou has some large ruts crossing the trail at the powerlines that need to be traversed with care. The cafe is open until March 9th, and there are lots of new clothing markdowns!
With upcoming wet weather, the trails will likely be pretty soft and slick the next couple of days. After Thursday, we will be working feverishly to move snow onto the trails for Sunday’s Michigan Cup Relays.
