Good News/ Bad News

First the good: Nice fresh soft snow up at the Creek; go take a peek. And more on the way. John and Alan were up grooming this morning and into the afternoon. Even better, due to the high holy holiday (Super Bowl) there is just about nobody up there.

The snow is soft, so classic is probably best until things set up a bit more.

Now the bad news. The yellow snow machine, our reliable work horse, has taken a dive and may be out of commission for some time. We plan to trailer it for repairs on Tuesday. It sounds like the transmission is fried. Not good. Almost as if the machine read the previous blog predicting imminent immobility.

We'll keep you posted as to it's recovery, and we'll do our best to keep the snow packed down with the remaining machine. Our only options are packing and rolling until the big yellow machine is revived. So the classic track will become history, at least for now. Thanks for all your support this season. And if anyone has a super-duty utility type snow machine we could utilize in the meantime, please respond with a "comment" to this blog entry.

I doubt if it would be what you need, but I have a 75' ski-doo 300 snow machine. I would need to throw new plugs in it, it's loud and it stinks but it still runs. e-mail me at drackett77@hotmail.com if you think it might serve the purpose for a little while.

I was out on the Little Bauer loop on Sunday and loved it. The trail was groomed and the classic track was great in places. Now, if I could only get used to a little speed! Thanks for the work you do.
