February 23rd Grooming Report--Bluster and Maelstrom!

February 23rd Grooming Report

Bluster and Maelstrom!

Once again the wind is kicking around the fields with some pretty good intensity today at Trail Creek.  A couple of inches of heavy snow have fallen in the past 24 hours with light snowfall continuing.  Fortunately this windy period we’ve been experiencing lately is supposed to wind down by tomorrow.

Today’s grooming is tentatively kind of a hybrid system.  Early this morning the Ginzu did do some laps in the close field to allow skiers to hopefully find their way to the woods where the skiing is rustic, but not too bad.  The schedule then calls for the Pisten Bully to return to service around noon for some serious grooming before practice starts later in the afternoon.  Priorities will be dependent upon wind speeds at that time, but expect lots of grooming on non-National Forest trails along with the close field with road crossings around the cabin being re-graded as well.  This afternoon’s practice schedule is quite light with only the Prep/Comp skiers on snow.

Groomer’s choice for today is to follow the Pisten Bully this afternoon.
