The sun, the snow, and the good vibes were in full force yesterday!

We received another 3-4 inches of light, fluffy snow yesterday morning. Groomers Butch and Mike snowcombed and set fresh tracks on all the trails last night. Conditions are excellent! Today is the 30th Annual Junior Muffin Race! The race starts at 10:30am and will utilize the trail head and the Rolling Hills trail, which will be closed to the public from 10:25am until approximately 11:30am. All the other trails are open for the entire day. *If you cross the race course to enter or exit the trail system during the race, please use caution and stay well off the trail to allow the racers to pass through! See complete details for the Muffin Race Below. Registration starts at 9:30am today.

The Stone Turtle Cafe is open today!
