By |2020-02-23T08:13:21-07:00February 22nd, 2020|Uncategorized|

Well, Ma Nature finally gave us a little bit of a break this week so we could get the trails whipped back into shape!

By |2020-02-14T19:01:57-07:00February 14th, 2020|Trail Reports|

Holy cow, what a week it has been! We just beat back the snow by packing on Tuesday only to have Ma Nature dump another 8-10" on us. We've been stuck and dug out so many times we lost count, and sadly our ATV is on its way to the shop, but we WON (at [...]

Winter Returneth

By |2020-01-31T20:32:54-07:00January 31st, 2020|Trail Reports|

What a roller coaster ride of a season it has been! Just a week ago one of our volunteer groomers (we'll refer to him here as "Doubty McDoubterson" to protect his identity) was declaring that winter was over. And then... we got 8 inches (up to 10 in some spots!) of fluffy new hope. ❄Sibley [...]
