Grand Lake Trail Groomers

Winter retains it’s grip on conditions above 9,750 feet! Feeling new branches with the cat and several tree trunks disappeared with the last storm. An inch or two in the last 24 hours kept the 8” from yesterday soft and cold at upper elevations. Nothing sticking around down low under a full moon in crisp, clear skies with 1° around midnight. While signs are starting to get picked up tomorrow, we’ll keep an eye on conditions and groom if needed through the next ten days. Would love to see a bunch of traffic show and ride hard this weekend! Time lapse from little Gravel mtn trail on Tuesday night. Groomed all of Kawuneeche from Idleglen to Chicken Hill, around the figure-8 and down Pony Park trail through the meadows. Around Gravel from the north and out to pick up “W” on the west end of Gold Run. Knocked down the Gold Run drifts, hoping they stay rideable through the weekend. Groomed “X” to “Y” and Stillwater from Idleglen to the Pass. Meet tomorrow at 10am in Idleglen if you are interested in helping pick up signs and poles. Received a very nice Pay Pal donation today, greatly appreciated! Even with the season wounding down expenses continue with off-season maintenance to snowcat’s and their storage building. We are looking at purchasing a lower hour used upgrade to replace one of our higher hour snowcat’s this summer. These projects will require significant funding, thank you for considering Grand Lake Trail Grooming! Thank you to Colorado State Parks and Wildlife of their seasonal grooming grant funded through your registration stickers. They play a large part in helping upgrade equipment, as we will be submitting a capital grant in the next few weeks. We greatly appreciate one of our largest financial contributors!
