December 29th Grooming Report
Snow Keeps on Coming!
Another round of snow is headed our way with the National Weather Service forecasting about eleven inches for the rest of the year. As of report time, we had received nearly 2 inches with light to moderate snowfall and pretty calm winds.
While the snow has deepened, the critter count has been increasing as well. The moose above is one of the bigger bulls to ever venture on to our trails and was spotted this morning within sight of Sam the Truck. The elk are passing through at night but are still really shy with the only evidence so far being their tracks. One special resident (or residents) are our weasels which have been spotted regularly this winter, fully dressed in their best winter white. They can be spotted anywhere, consider yourself lucky if you spot one.
The Husky once again ventured forth, grooming most trails. Classic tracks are now on about 50% of the trails with more every day. Speaking of more, a new section of trail has been groomed today. About midway between Sam and the bottom of Homesite there is a new trail that crosses a new bridge and makes a lollipop in Mug’s Meadow. We might do some additional modification as the season progresses, but currently it is a lovely sinuous diversion of your daily workout.
Groomer’s choice for today is to check out Mug’s Meadow.
