Everyone is reporting great conditions for the second week of February, with school vacation just around the corner, this is the kind of news we want to hear. Possibly a few inches on Thursday and the continued cold temps, trails should remain in very good shape.
Many people are reporting that there are some snowmobilers cutting through fields and some are actually going over septic systems, well we all know what kind of mess that might make, so please stay on marked trails.
Oxbow area seems to be the area this year with the never ending logging operations, the club is doing the best they can so be patient with them and they are working on a few reroutes to get out of the logging area, definitely watch for signs on ITS 85/86.
