December 31st Grooming Report
New Year’s Eve
As we ski into a new year, you’ll discover a winter wonderland today at Trail Creek. Overnight 6-10 inches of pretty heavy snow has graced our trails, once again painting the landscape a brilliant white. As of report time the sun was peeking out a bit giving the indication that perhaps the storm might be winding down, however, the forecast still calls for quite a bit more in the next 36 hours so time will tell.
Of note today, the US Cross Country Ski Championships in Houghton, Michigan are getting under way. A small crew of JHSC athletes and coaches are there to participate in this amazing event. While serious racing and live streaming doesn’t get going until January 2nd, you can find all the details as well as streaming links at this link.
Today’s grooming was with the Husky and reworked most every trail. An early morning start began in the woods with fresh classic tracks being place universally. The fields were then buffed out towards the end of grooming. Double passes occurred on Moose Loop, Homesite, Suicide and major field trails. While a couple inches of snow did fall since the beginning of grooming, all in all you should be able to have a great time skiing yourself into a new year.
Groomer’s choice for today is Homesite.
