From Jerry Wakefield – Forest Riders President

The weather forecasts were wrong again, and this time we got more snow than anticipated!

The trails are in very good condition, and there’s no doubt it is plenty cold to sustain the snow we have.

Speaking of cold, the upcoming Friday and Saturday forecast is for temps in -20’s with wind chills in the -50’s.  This extreme cold is not good for our equipment, and not safe for our volunteer groomer operators; so we are going to suspend grooming operations both Friday and Saturday because of the extreme cold. It is just a precaution, and grooming will resume this Sunday.

There is still some logging being done on Trail 5 between Lamer Springs and Muskellunge Rd, and logging scheduled to begin on Trail 12 just south of trail G. It looks like they are going to use Flowage Rd as a route. Flowage Rd has been plowed down to the gravel
