Grooming on the Rural Cass snowmobile trail began today (Dec 22) when Keith Blixt of Gardner headed out in the groomer this morning to start on the northern loop of the trail. Since it takes quite a bit longer the firt time out, he expects to only groom half of the north loop today. Here’s a picture of him in action this morning:

The remainder of the north loop should be groomed Thursday, if all goes as planned. And the south loop will be groomed either Thursday evening or Friday morning, depending upon groomer operator availability.  If you are out riding today or tomorrow on the south loop, there are still some deeper ditches that could be packed more with snowmobiles to help the groomer avoid getting stuck.
