Comments: Vicki Thompson & i had a lovely snowstorm in the mtns. trip. fresh groomed yesterday made it possible, thank you Dave Hannibal. by the end of the day it was covered by another 4-6". That area is getting 2-6" everyday. it would be good to focus on the most recently groomed trails.
Two pairs of snowmobilers were making trails, too.
The area around crane prairie, 14 & 16 rd is one of my favorites.
