Grayling – Fay’s Motel Trail Report – Jan. 3
Snow and Weather: Keep an eye on the weather.
Trail Report: Greetings Sledders,
It looks like we have at least a shot at keeping the trails intact until Sunday.
The forecast keeps changing slightly in terms of temps and the amount of rain that may fall. If the current forecast holds true then we will likely lose the trails sometime Sunday. I say that with a certain amount of caution as much depends on the amount of Sun we get prior to the low moving in.
Tomorrow is supposed to be partly cloudy and temps around 32. Should we get an all day blast things could go south fast, at least in the snirty spots on the trails.
It also looks like we will retain our off trail snow pack if things shake out as forecast.
TRAILS: Right now the trails are in decent to good shape. We groomed everything out the last few days. The more traveled tight corner sections are going to be snirty in the corners which is always the case. I groomed the Blue Bear Connection and Hanson Hills yesterday then took the new machine for a ride on the Frederic trail and all in all had a good ride.
GROOMING: The schedule is set for the next several days and we’ll just have to make the call to go on a day to day basis depending on what Ma. Nature serves up.
Here are some grooming activity numbers for December that some of you may be interested in reading:
We groomed 19 days.
We are responsible for 86 miles total.
During those 19 days we logged 1444 miles. This was done using Blue the vast majority of the time and required 217 volunteer man hours that were generated by basically 4 drivers.
We averaged 76 miles per day at an alarmingly fast avg. speed of 6.65 miles per hour.
Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
Keith, Sandy and The Girls
