December 2nd Grooming Report--Breaking in a New Trail!

December 2nd Grooming Report

Breaking in a New Trail!

The featureless field of white in the image above was within seconds, converted into some soft, but pretty good Nordic skiing as part of this morning’s grooming routine at Trail Creek Nordic Center.  In case you don’t recognize the area above, this area is a new addition in the region of Seifert’s cabin that perhaps was collectively named Dark Hallow last year.  If you’re lucky enough to get a ski today, check it out although caution is urged when crossing the snow bridge over the creek until it has set up firmly.

Today’s grooming covered pretty much every trail except for the East Fields.  On the mostly single Husky pass through the woods, more classic tracks than ever this year were laid in as it was possible to take advantage of the recent 10+ inches of snow.  Double passes were made on Moose Loop with multiple passes through the Close Field.  Conditions are a bit soft yet with some dribbles on the trails, but all in all, you should find some great skiing today.

For those of you with a racing or social spirit, don’t forget the Targhee Tune Up tomorrow over the hill.  All the information is available on their web site; it should be a fun day!

Groomer’s choice for today is Moose Loop.
