We picked up 2 inches of snow yesterday. I headed out for a ride hitting some St. Germain, Sayner and Eagle River trails. The St. Germain and the Eagle River trails I rode had been groomed. The Sayner trail I rode hadn’t been groomed. Even though it wasn’t a lot of snow, it did help the trails. Temps dropped into the single digits so trails that were groomed were smooth and packed in tight. The ungroomed trails ranged from pretty smooth to getting bumpy. Some trails are looking brownish from snirt but others are mostly white. The carbides were scraping at times – mainly on the insides of some corners. More corners are getting pushed out making them icy and/or thin on snow. It’s hard to give an overall rating to the trails as they vary from fair up to excellent. Most will be in the fair/good range.
Plowed road trails suck. Carbides scrape constantly on them.
The snow yesterday helped but it would be nice to get some more to help build up the base and give the groomers more to work with.
