Owatonna Kaplan’s woods trails are in the best shape of the season. I groomed tonight just to smooth out areas and do a final pack. When you go out this week you will fine about half inch fresh snow over hard packed snow. Stay to the center or high on the trail and you will […]

Trail update January 19. A big Thanks to everyone who went out and hit the trail this weekend. Looks like it will setup nice. We might have a few soft spots but overall good to go.
