Trails were groomed today at the Matsell Bridge Natural Area near Stone City. The lower end of the trails by the "pack-in" campsites groomed the best and that is where you will find the best trails. Some areas only have the classic tracks but I tried laying down the skate tracks where possible.
The trails should set up nicely overnight with the cold temperatures but looks like our cold days may be limited! There are a few bare spots starting to show through but most areas have a good base.
Some of you have asked to see what we are using for grooming equipment so I have enclosed a pic of what we are using. We will be monitoring the trails to see if we will be able to groom again before Spring finally gets here. Hope you are able to get out this weekend!
