January update & snow report

Excellent snow cover and continuing cold (following some warm spells)  have guaranteed good trail coverage to date. The base is still a little thin in some patches and those warmer days has meant some icing in the tracks but new fresh snow has upgraded the whole system. The continued line of cars at the entrance is a good sign that the community is getting their fresh air and exercise! Please remember that we are fundraising for new grooming equipment as we have been using Al Freeze's for the last few years. Thank you Al!  For the fundraising drive, your generosity at the donation/membership box at the main gate or at the envelope at High Country Sports is most appreciated. We will all benefit from new equipment. Also of note is continued success with snowmobile compliance on our restricted trails. Particularly noticed is the still pristine condition of Meadow Pond - last year this quiet habitat was laced with snowmobile trails. We improved signage and are prepared to gate if necessary but this is a hopeful sign that respect is on the increase! Happy Trails to all....
