Big fluffy snow was falling heavily when we arrived at Seton this morning. Tracks were buried and soon you couldn’t see or even feel them at all.

To save folks a few clicks, the province’s interactive map shows Jan 26th grooming on Epinette, and Jan 27th grooming on Seton, Yellow Quill and Kiche Manitou trails…should be great for the weekend if there is limited new snow between now and then.
