Bergland Area Groomer’s Report for our Thursday evening groom 3/6/25. Trail’s covered, 13n, 1n, 102, 8w and 13s. The good to excellent.. Ding Ding Ding!! 102, 13n and 1n. We haven’t got a report on 13s yet, but guessing it’s in pretty good shape as well. The bad . 8w has opened up and most likely had its last groom of the season. Picture provided shows what our operator encountered this evening. Get out and enjoy while it’s good!! We’ll continue on limited trails for as long as possible, but the forecast doesn’t look to be in our favor. Think positive, be safe and enjoy!
