Groomed up Mt Ashwabay Fat Bike this evening. There was about 8 dense inches of snow with a lot water in it. It seemed to pack pretty well.

​I made a pass over Mt Ashwabay Fat last night, unfortunately it was pretty firm at 31 degrees so the grooming didn't do as much as I had hoped. Fortunately, people stayed off the trail during the melt so there aren't ruts and divots. So thank you for waiting.

This morning is 44 degrees and no new snow...yet. Under the crusty layer the snow was still soft nougat. So wait until later today to go out.

We're only forecasted 1-2 in the Bayfield peninsula so riding should be good for the weekend.

​Trail Closed!

It's just too warm and not fully refreezing overnight. Looking at the temperature graph, maybe Wednesday night will be cold enough for me to "float the concrete" and allow it to refreeze for a solid base for Friday and the weekend.

Going forward, watch the overnight temps. If things are freezing (mid 20's), riding will be good the next day. But if afternoon temps are rising, finish your riding/snowshoe in the morning.

Thanks
MIKE
