Trail Conditions: March 12th, 2009  LOTS OF SNOW HERE!!!

**NOTE: OUR LAST DATE FOR SERVING LUNCH AT TWIN PINES IS SATURDAY, MARCH 21. GAS WILL STILL BE AVAILABLE .

Thursday March 26

Groomers were out last night and reporting great conditions despite the warm weather.  Trails are flat and hard with limited bare spots in the high sun areas.  In town trails and behind the hotels are a little boney and we recommend trailering to at least the Timber Cruisers.  The Pole Line and Wild Kingdon have some spots that we have flagged and groomed around, use caution.  Jo-Mary Riders were out last night as well and report their trails as Flat and Excellent!   There is some Excellent spring riding, with some still mid-winter conditions.  So get out on the trails and enjoy!

Monday March 23

Despite Spring arriving down south, we still have plenty of snow on our trails!   People are out on the trails and getting in some great riding.  We still have 25 to 30 inches of snow on the trails and as long as the temps hold, we plan to be out grooming on Thursday and Friday night.

Sunday March 22

Groomers were out again last night.  In town trails are still in pretty good springtime condition.  There is still access to the hotels for now.  Once you get outside of town the trails are in good shape.  Great springtime riding with lots of snow still.   As temps rise, so will the opening brooks and spring holes, ride with caution and be aware.

Saturday-Mar 21:

Our groomers were out last night and at 3:30 a.m called in to report GOOD SPRINGTIME CONDITIONS on all of the trails.  Do use caution as with warmer weather there will be occasional icy spots and spring brooks & spring holes opening up along the trails.  Today the weather, the views, and the riding are spectacular!

**Gas always available at Twin Pines from 7am to 7pm.
