Trail Conditions: Early Season
Snow Cover: Minimal
Date of Report: December 26, 2025
Area Report:
The weather is currently not our friend. We’ve got above freezing temps forecast today through Sunday. The good news is that we are expecting snow Sunday night into Monday and the temps look like they’ll be dropping and staying low for next week.
The Barnstormers have been out these past couple days and have groomed the majority of our system. There is limited snow cover, but most of the system is flat and rideable. Corners are going to be extremely icy right now and potentially hazardous. We will likely suspend grooming over the weekend until more snow arrives.
The warm temps these next three days won’t hurt us too badly, unless there is heavy traffic. The damage from riding on soft trails won’t be fixable without a decent amount of snow. If you are going to ride during these warmer days, please, please, please refrain from being too aggressive!
We do have one section that is down to the dirt and should be completely avoided! Trail 6-9-11 between TIN 204 and 225 is NOT RIDEABLE. Please stay off of this section until we get more snow!
Both Plum and Star have been reported to have 8″ – 12″ of ice. We are told that they’ll be marked as soon as there is enough snow to secure the barrels. It is still recommended to stay off the lakes until they are marked.
Ride RIght & Ride Safe!
