Greetings and welcome!
I will come right out and admit it, I am not ready for this update this afternoon. I spent the morning getting my brain scrambled playing network guy and I am running a little late. This afternoon I am making a run to Lakewood and I will get a look around on the 32 corridor.
The back of the storm didn’t bring much for extra snow. It snowed a little like it was going to mean something and it faded out before it added up.
Behind that we have a mostly warm week. Today I have 27 so far as of 2pm. Wednesday and Friday we are looking at low 30s and Thursday could go into the upper 30s. Saturday we are looking at mid-20s and Sunday mid-teens. There are no storms obvious, but we could see some light snow on either side of Sunday’s cold day.
I got news yesterday that the Iron Snowshoe opened up today. They went out and panned the snow on Monday and opened today. In their words.. Very early season conditions apply to the entire trail system with minimal snow cover. It isn’t ideal, but the system is open. Most areas that I have seen had 1-2 before the storm and got 2-3 from it.
Here is the event list from Chris’ page. I will add any that I find in the papers or from posters hanging up when I go to town.

Event notes-
As far as the PBR Snow Fun Weekend they have a new fish-a-ree this year that you can fish on any area lake. Cool idea.
Their site said that their conditions ranged from poor in open fields to very good on sections of the RR grade, and that they had about 3.5″ of new snow. They also mentioned the Iron Snowshoe opening as well as saying that Chute Pond will open Thursday with conditions listed as “very very poor”.
I saw in Dan’s comment yesterday that his son Dillon had raised $5,600 so far and was riding inthe MS ride this weekend. Outstanding!
Well I am off to scout the 32 corridor as far as Lakewood to Carter. Have a good afternoon and thank you for visiting!
