December 20th Grooming Report-Trail Creek Monarchs!

December 20th Grooming Report

Trail Creek Monarchs!

While it is certainly debatable whether the bulls or the cows are the current monarchs of the “Alcesian” world, these guys are sporting some impressive crowns on their heads.  They were seen lounging and foraging around the close field this morning.  It is good to remind Nordic skiers that moose are much bigger than skiers and they can move at Olympic speeds with proper motivation.  Even though they do tend to be relatively calm in winter, a recent report indicated erratic and threatening behavior from one of our resident ruminants; keep your distance on your next Nordic ski!

While you are viewing and avoiding being trampled by moose, you will be able to have a great Nordic ski today at Trail Creek.  Yesterday’s dense snow responded very favorable to today’s Pisten Bully best line skate set.  All trails received such grooming and in addition the close field received a total Pisten Bully rework with fresh double classic tracks. Yesterday's classic tracks in the woods are all in all quite pristine yet today and will ski nicely.  11:30 conditions are partly cloudy, calm, a temperature of -5ºC/23ºF, and a forecast of 3 inches of fresh snow in the next 24 hours.  It is simply a great day to ski at Trail Creek!

Groomer’s choice for today is Beaver Ponds.
