Weekly Trail Report
Friday January 16th, 2026
Trails are holding up, but hard packed at this time. We have received no new snow and warm temperatures. Majority of the trees have been cleaned off the tail system, thanks to all that made it out trail cleaning! High winds have more than likely drops more so be cautious and carry a saw. Report any large or dangerous trees.
