The trails have a lot of water under them where we are crossing swamps. It's going to take a while for everything to freeze up. Pack them down if you can do it safely. Watch for gates that haven't been opened yet.
Now that we are past Christmas we can spend more time clearing the trails. Please post what has been checked, cleared, packed, and statuses on the Facebook page and I'll try to compile daily. Pictures are helpful also.
As of now, the town trails were clear before the snow and have been checked after. The swamps are still unfrozen and lakes have marginal ice. Some clearing has been done south of Isabella but the unfrozen swamp issue is more critical there. South of Kane Lake got checked today.
Early reports indicated that some areas are completely blocked from hanging trees from the heavy snow. In the process of checking and clearing, please be safe and pack the trail wider so it has a chance to freeze. The Tuckers won't be able to groom until everything is frozen wide enough.
The USFS form required for working on their land will be posted soon with information on how to get that filled out.
