Temporary Closure Until Conditions Improve
March 13, 2020
Due to icy conditions, trails are temporarily closed.
It seems as though spring insists on making an early appearance this year and over the last week or more the trails have certainly taken it pretty hard. We had been able to lightly groom the Nordic trails for the past week or so but after Tuesday nights rain, the trails have gone from marginal conditions to down right dangerous. While there is some snow cover, a vast majority of the trails are loaded with ice and for the safety of everyone we are opting to announce that the trails will be closed until further notice after a thorough inspection of the current conditions. With a forecast of up to .5" of rain, high winds, mild temps today and the long range forecast also calling for warm temps through next week there is little chance of the conditions improving. Unless there is a major change in future forecasts and we have an outlook of substantial snow, we will be closing the trails for winter operations until further notice. There are also numerous areas where it's down to bare ground, so as the trails thaw we also run the risk of trail damage and wish to protect the natural resources along with keeping the safety of our users in mind.

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!
