The beaver dam picture is outbound, just past the 4.5 mile turn. The dam has 
been there several years --it parallels the trail in the middle--but with 
enough snow gets smoothed out and is just a steep little bump up out of the 
ditch.

The two 5.9 pictures are from the end of the straight part of the 5.9 turn 
where it turns onto the old main trail and goes to the current main trail. 
The snowmachine is in the middle of the trail (now ditch).

Elsewhere, the big drag did help flatten the trail, but there's still lots 
of holes and bumps. There just isn't enough snow on the trail to fill 
everything in. You can see where the drag was dropping snow in a low area 
then ran out--leaving the rest of the hole.

It'll probably take 4 to 6" of heavy snow and another pass of the big drag 
to get a sprintable trail. More if it's really light and fluffy.

Even though we've gotten what in past years would have been enough snow to 
do a pretty good job of filling in, none of it was wet snow that turns hard 
and is good at being pushed around.
