Crews have been busy and made great progress.  You will find that most trails have been cleared and groomed.  The few in pink are cleared and passable, not yet groomed, but will be groomed between Friday and Sunday this weekend. You can check the GTS app for updates on the most recent groomed trails.  The trails in yellow indicated they have been groomed with in the week, again the GTS app will show which have been in the last 72 hours.  If they are in yellow, they are now on the grooming schedule for the season.

There are a few trails not highlighted, which means they are roads and not groomed trails.  You’ll be able to indicate that they are roads based on the short area they cover, and they look like a connector trail. The other bigger artery trails that are not highlighted mean they have not been cleared and are not passable. These would be trail 5 between Moose Lake and Trap N Fish (#13) – this is currently being worked on. Trail 27/5 south of the Tuscobia – will be worked on next week. Trail 40 looped with 311 and 162 just north of Loretta – also work on next week. And lastly (only 4 all together) is trail 11 or famously known as “The 9 Mile Loop” – also currently worked on and halfway done.
