Not much new in the weather or the trails. They remain in Good to Excellent condition with some icy corners. The groomers have been busy cutting, pulling and packing snow into the corners but stay on the alert. We have been getting a little fresh snow almost every day this week so the Crazy 8's are great for the weekend ahead!

Warning....when riding Trail #89, please, stay on the trail in the construction area. As many of you know, the road is being paved and there are places where the new roadway has been cleared creating an almost irresistible urge to go off-trail and explore. Construction work has ceased until Spring, but there are stumps, brush piles, equipment, culverts and other hazards hidden under the snow.

Logging Activities on the Crazy 8's - Loggers are out of most places but they will be using Trail #8 East to the Intersection of #443 and then north of there for a short ways, Trail #8 East starting about 15 miles east of Grand Marais to CR 407 (about 7 miles) and again starting about 5 miles or so east of CR 407 for about 1 mile. In each of these sections, loggers have left plenty of snow cover on the trail....just remember, where the trail is plowed, you could encounter a logging truck!
