February 17th Grooming Report

Lots of Winners!

Saturday was a spectacular day at Trail Creek with nearly 200 racers out enjoying sunshine, competition, and plenty of snow.  Pictured above is the 30 K winner Coach Scott Lacey tucking towards the Aspen Bump at the 15 K mark.  Once again a sea of volunteers came together to host a great race, a million thanks to volunteers, racers, spectators, and staff that make this all possible!

Today at Trail Creek it is an awesome day to ski.  10 AM conditions are calm, sun peaking through a thin overcast, a few flakes falling, and a temperature of -11ºC/12ºF.  Today’s grooming was a Pisten Bully ramble through the woods and fields with a little of this and a little of that.  While the Forest Service trails received mainly skate only grooming, the major trails on the rest of our network received double passes with fresh classic tracks.  A primary focus was reconnecting connections that had been abandoned for the Moose Chase.  About an inch of snow fell since the beginning of grooming but all in all conditions are nice, there is a lot of good skiing today!

Groomer’s choice for today is to ski the reconnected lost connections.
