Grooming Report 3/6
March 6, 2020
There is still plenty of coverage to get in some skiing, snowshoeing, and fat biking this weekend!
The windows for solid riding surfaces can be pretty narrow this time of year and if temperatures drop for long enough to set up the trails, early morning rides are ideal. Evening temps look to be cold enough to make for some pretty solid trail surfaces both Saturday and Sunday morning. Once the strong March sun gets higher in the sky and daytime temps rise to above the freezing mark the surface tends to loosen up and can create some challenging conditions. If you find yourself compromising the trails too much on your ride, consider turning back.
Please remember to keep an eye out for where fat bikes are restricted. There are signs on the trails in the appropriate locations and if you have any questions please stop in to the Winter Welcome Center.
GROOMING
The mild weather can often present challenging conditions to groom as the snow pack changes and surfaces become variable with the fluctuations in temps. The groomers will be out working the trails in order to create the best conditions possible and hope that Mother Nature will help out and do her part by providing some cooler temps to help set up the trails for the weekend.

From the Executive Director: Hi Everyone! Well, July has certainly brought the heat, but luckily here at KT there are plenty of shady trails to choose from. Speaking of trails...we are opening a new one this weekend: "Cheddar Slice" connects the bottom of Butter Tubs to the bottom of the Dashney Loop, creating a roughly 4-mile family-friendly loop and adding another way to connect the Moose Alley and Dashney zones. Connectivity has been a big focus this year, and there is more to come later this season. Thank you to all our generous Landowners, members and supporters. Have a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Fourth of July!! -Georgia Celebrate the Fourth with Us!
