The weekend storm delivered! New snow was added inconsistently but ranged from as little as 6 inches of windblown snow near the Superior Dome (finish line) to approximately 35 inches in the highlands to the West. The further west you go, the more snow there was that fell. At this time much of the main trail is in very good shape although we are still below our normal snow depths and what fell will still need to be packed in more and there will be some settling. The forecasted cold temperatures have now arrived and we wait for that to do it’s thing on the water crossings…ice depths at this time are not very safe. The cold days and nights should continue until next weekend. There are a few clipper systems that might make their way through our area towards the end of this week which could give us some more snow, and, that would be a good thing. The long range forecasts don’t have a lot of certainty of those at this time but that is something we will watch for. More updates to come as we have them!
