SONC Grooming Update
December 20. The team track packed all of the Buck Prairie system yesterday. The tracks make a good classic trail. Today they attempted to groom the entire system, but it got too warm and they were unable to make it to Buck Prairie. East Hyatt road and part of Buck Divide are groomed for classic and skate. There are a few bare spots on East Hyatt road. There will be no additional grooming until there is fresh snow. See table below for details.
Trail Maps can be found at Southern Oregon Nordic trails and at Avenza maps.
