We cleared as much as we have in previous years with over 100 hours clearing but the trees keep falling.
This year we have had a number of very severe windstorms (mini - blowdown like). Some of our trail areas have quite mature Aspen (+40 years) and so we had many across the trail or serious learners. On one of our clearing trips we cleared in and had to clear our way back out; ugh!
Regards the season begins; We have MN DNR funding, two newer big tracking snowmobiles (in good working order this year), new roller compactor and improved tracker, purchased from our friends at Golden Eagle Lodge and a snowmobile basecamp trailer..
So stay tuned, we see how this weekend goes and the begin reporting on this Blog and Skinny Ski.
Thanks
