December 10th Grooming Report
Fire on the Mountain!
Pack your weenies and marshmallows, grab your Nordic skis, head on out to Trail Creek, and it’s a party! The Forest Service is burning a couple of brush piles right next to our Homesite trail and the piles are big enough that the fire will burn all day. While there is currently a huge plume of smoke tucked up into the canyon, it is not bad on ground level. If a winter picnic isn’t on your agenda for the day, at the very least you could park by the fire and warm up for a while.
Today at Trail Creek was primarily a maintenance day with two of our snow machines being picked up from the shop and brought home for the season. The really big news of the day is that Mug’s Meadow has been groomed and added to the trail system for the season. It is a bit brushy and soft, but if you hurry you could have the season’s first tracks.
As of 12:15 PM the temperature is -9ºC/16ºF with a thin overcast and calm wind. Only the trails to and from Mug’s and the fire were groomed today with the Pisten Bully but all in all except for a few thin spots, skiing is nice. There are respectable classic tracks on about half of the trails.
Grooomer’s choice for today is a bonfire on Homesite.
