TNT Trenary Northern Trails

Short run today to make sure our east end is smooth and conditions couldn’t be better. Possibly making one more full run before the end of season to make sure we are right on track to finish the season out. Reports have been coming in that the trail is pretty smooth. Grooming will end, but the entire trail will be open through the 31st. Private land closes across the state on the 1st of April, so feel free to keep riding, but please respect private property as land use permits do not allow clubs to keep the trail open. Ride right and ride safe!

Another run last night as we start wrapping up the season. We are running minimal runs in order to keep the trail smooth and save the snow for the rest of the season. Trail is ice and is grooming out as such. We will keep doing the best we can with what we have to get through the end of the season. Ride right and ride safe!

Thanks to a little warmth, time, one of our operators and his track loader, and Alger SORVA bringing their Bison over to pack down our badly drifted areas, we were able to get a full pass in last night to start recovering the trail after the blizzard. The temp never dropped enough to be able to actually groom the snow, so it ended up being more of a panning run. Our previous post showcased our experience with the tunnel under 41 last night and how serious we are about making sure we get the job done. We couldn’t do it without driven individuals who drop everything to come running. Even those from other clubs who always make time when the SOS call goes out. With that said, we thank each and every individual and club across the state who goes the extra mile when needed. That even includes landowners and residents that step up when things get crazy. It takes a lot to keep trails open and if it weren’t for those that step up, we wouldn’t have them. The trail will not be smooth until we get a run with low enough temps, but it will be flat enough to not be miserable. With a couple weeks left in the season, I do not see too many more opportunities to run with the current temps, but we will be out as much as the temps allow to get through the season. Ride right and ride safe!

The struggle is real! Alger SORVA pulled a day shift assist and smashed down our problem areas with the Bison today, but that didn’t stop us from getting into a bind with too much snow! The tunnel under 41 had a 3’ (settled height) drift down the entire length and it was too much to push through. We are close to the roof of the machine during normal operas we scrape it down close to the bottom. One of our operators threw his personal track loader on a trailer and came to the rescue. Between the track loader and the Deere, we were able to clear the tunnel out and get back to grooming. These guys go to all lengths to keep operations moving forward.

One of our great sponsors is offering up a heck of a deal if you haven’t set your plans yet and want to take advantage of the ungroomed trails to help us get back to grooming!

We are nearing the end of season in the same way we started the season. Drifts are way too much to get through. We need sled traffic again. Especially those long tracks. We need everything knocked down. We are not the only ones! Hiawatha Trails to our west and Alger SORVA need their trails smashed too. Their Bison is slowly working through the system, but it is a hard run with all of the soft snow. If they can get through their system, they may be able to come and hit ours, but it will take days at this rate. Plan accordingly as you will go through gas. Sounds like deliveries are slowly making it to stations. Ride right, ride safe, and have fun!

As of now, our operators are digging out. Plans are being put in place for a run without the drag to find the trail and clear road crossings. We don’t know what to expect other than an absolutely drifted trail and huge banks at road crossings that have been cleared already. The county is doing their best to get to the side roads in a timely manner, but expect road crossings to become bermed throughout the next couple of days. It is going to be a long week of trying to get the trail back to rideable conditions. Ride right and ride safe!

Why are people wanting to ride today? I get it. Great snow! But what happens if you break down? What happens if you need gas and the gas station looses power? What happens if you get stuck and can’t get out? What happens if you get lost? Risk vs reward is definitely heavy on risk right now and very light on reward…. Just don’t. The snow will be here tomorrow. I promise!

The entire trail is flat going into the storm. Please bear with us after as we do not know what it will take to get back out with the amount of snow and the drifting we are going to receive. Ride right, ride safe, and batten down the hatches!

Bipolar weather made for some of the hardest grooming of the year. From 40s to below zero made the trail rock hard. The reports from riders stated that trails groomed Friday night were notably worse than those that weren’t. Warmer conditions and sunshine will help to loosen up the snow and make it more groomable, but will degrade the snow overall. We are going to be grooming as needed to save what we have for as long as we can. Expect conditions to vary all week. Also, I know signs are hard to understand because we don’t make them with your favorite flavors of crayons, but let’s at least try a little bit. Ride right and ride safe!
