January 11th Grooming Report
Skating in Powder!
Many thanks to Teewinot Coach Libby for sending in some images of her Monday-Wednesday group learning “SIP-ing” or how to “skate in powder”. All that powder we’ve had recently has been an amazing addition to all of the trails at Trail Creek, allowing our Husky to venture out and bring many trails closer to midwinter perfection
So far today, we have had a break from the snow. The forecast does indicate another good shot in the next 24 hours; however, the outlook for over the weekend has diminished slightly with accumulations now being in the “few inches per day” range.
In today’s grooming the Husky was able to cover nearly every trail recently groomed with multiple passes and classic tracks on the Close Field, Armin’s, Animal Farm, and (first of the season) Moose Loop. This will most likely be the last journey into the woods until Monday as tomorrow our massive three day Johnny Curtis Memorial, IMD Nordic, High Plains Nordic, and Wyoming High School race begins. The course (map is available on the website) will be closed to the public Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
There was a bit of new experimental grooming in the East Fields today with the primary focus being the development of practice areas for the race. The final call on whether it is time to open them for the season will be made next week.
Groomer’s choice is to enjoy some great Husky grooming today and then support our teams at the upcoming races.
