SONC Grooming Update
March 29: Yesterday the team groomed the trails around Hyatt lake for both skate and classic. East Hyatt road has multiple bare spots so skiing is poor. This will be the last time our team grooms unless there is a lot of new snow. Due to BLM budget rules we are not allowed to groom the Buck Prairie system. It is not known if Tucker Snow Cat will do any grooming in the future. See table below for details.
Trail Maps can be found at Southern Oregon Nordic trails and at Avenza maps.

In partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), SONC volunteers use a tracked Polaris ATV to pull a YTS tracksetter and trail reconditioner to groom Hyatt Lake/Buck Prairie Nordic System trails.
