Tough Sledding Continues: Update 12/28/18
Well… Until today, not much new to report on. Trails were as hard as a brick and the washouts had frozen over. I had seen a few snowmobiles bopping around town, so I can say the trails are passable but rough…probably not fun to ride for long distances. Light snows over the past several days […]
