February 21st Grooming Report

February 23-24. 2019

It’s Almost Here!

 

Course Inspection begins at 10 AM Friday morning and throughout the day the nearly 300 youth will be showing up for Saturday and Sunday’s Intermountain Youth Championships.  It is sure to be a spectacular event as these fearless skiers race around the Nordic X skier cross course, if you have time, spectating surely would not disappoint.

 

Today at Trail Creek there is a beautiful blue sky hanging over lots of fresh grooming.  Pretty much every trail except for Armin’s received double Pisten Bully passes with fresh classic tracks; Armin’s received only a single skate only pass.  Also in addition to all the regular trails in the fields, the new additions for race courses also received extensive grooming.

 

All the details of the upcoming weekend are posted below, expect limited grooming in the woods for the next few days as our grooming efforts will be focused on all the activities for the Youth Competition.  Skiers are welcome in the woods throughout the weekend and today for sure will encounter great conditions.

 

Groomer’s Choice for today is Woolsey Woods.
