December 17th Grooming Report

Junior National Qualifier Week!

The first mega-racing event of the season takes place beginning Thursday this week when bus loads of valley Nordic youth travel to Bozeman, MT for the first junior national qualifier of the season.  If you are at all inclined to view the spectacle it would be an opportune time to not only see some great Nordic racing, but perhaps take advantage of a little sales tax free Montana Christmas shopping.  This race and two more qualifiers later in the season will determine who makes it to nationals this year.  To see these events and more click on JHSC, Trail Creek, and Community Nordic Calendar.

As of 11:15 AM at Trail Creek today the temperature is -8ºC/18ºF with calm and cloudy conditions.  While no snow has yet fallen, forecasts call for light snow amounts over the next few days with totals around 4 inches.  Today’s grooming was Pisten Bully best line skate grooming on most trails.  Classic tracks were untouched and mostly pretty good although another big dump would be nice.  Skating is pretty nice where ever you go.

Groomer’s choice today is a tour through the woods.
