February 16th Grooming Report
So Much Fun!
Thanks to Coaches Libby and Kathy for sending in some great pictures of Teewinots above and Lollipoppers below, enjoying a great powder day at Trail Creek yesterday; conditions might not have been Olympic ready, but that didn’t stop a lot of fun from happening.
You too can find some fun today at Trail Creek. Since yesterday’s grooming about 6 inches of snow has fallen. The initial plan for the day was to take the Ginzu groomer out, resetting both classic tracks and skate lanes. However, after moving about 100 meters, the Ginzu groomer proceeded to go on strike, right smack dab in the middle of the already rolled stadium. Being that conditions there were as firm there as anywhere, the only obvious course of action was to focus on rolling today, with the Ginzu being called back into service tomorrow after all the recent snowfall has had a chance to consolidate a bit.
Things did go well with the roller and almost every trail did receive at least two passes. The close field received three passes although there was some moderate drifting going on at the end of grooming. The preexisting classic track was left untouched on most woods trails and will probably ski ok, classic skiers might also take the skate lanes and skaters will be able to make progress through the beautiful snowy woods today, although that pace might be a bit slow with all the new snow.
Groomer’s choice for today is Cle’s Climb.
