SONC Grooming Update
March 22: Thursday, BLM and Tucker set a classic ski track with Tucker equipment on E. Hyatt Road, Buck Divide Road, and Buck Prairie Road all the way to the SnoPark on D.I.M. Road. It snowed a few inches Thursday night, then on Friday Wayne and Glen groomed the Hyatt Campground loops, the Pavillion road, and out East Hyatt Road to, and including, the Wildcat Campground loops, for Classic and Skate skiing but reported only fair-poor results because of sticky wet snow. See table below for details.
Trail Maps can be found at Southern Oregon Nordic trails and at Avenza maps.
