Trails are being groomed & mostly in excellent condition. Temps in the teens at night and 30 during the days. All trails have a layer of ice under the snow. Some corners are very icy and there is not a lot of snow for base. The warmer daytime temps hurt the trails faster with the light snow we have. The trails will be very busy this weekend with the I-500 going on. We will be out doing extra grooms to attempt to keep them smooth.
