Friday afternoon update

Anywhere from 12" to 16" of snow fell on the trail by last night. Groomers have given it a day to settle in the hopes that tourers and snowshoers will have packed down enough of it to be able to get that very difficult first pass with the snowmobile done tonight.

Deep snowfalls are a blessing, and we've had several of them this month, but they are extremely difficult to groom and involve a lot of extra work for the groomers.

Assuming they don't get stuck too many times during tonight's work the guys hope to have the trail groomed for skating tomorrow, and hopefully classic tracks set too.

Watch this spot for further updates.
