Palmer Woods Fat Bike Grooming (Report #3) Date: December 5, 2025
Our dedicated crew was out on the trails today, grooming the entirety of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor after Palmer Woods received a fresh 2" of fluffy snow. A thin crust is beginning to form between the powder and the still-unfrozen ground, which is a promising sign, but ideal fatbiking conditions will take more time and additional passes to fully develop. The trail shape is coming along nicely, yet the tread surface remains soft and will need to firm up before riding reaches its best.
