January 13th Grooming Report
Miles of Quiet Trails!
With a soft gray ski, no wind, very pleasant temperatures, and few skiers so far, it looks to be a great day to ski at Trail Creek. This afternoon will be pretty quiet as well since many of the high school skiers are off to Lander for a Wyoming High School Nordic competition. Lander has an informative website online for the event with a promise of results being posted soon after racing finishes up today and tomorrow; check it out at the Lander Nordic Race link.
Today at Trail Creek the Husky was once again hard at it, buffing out pretty much every trail. The really warm temps forecast earlier in the week ended up being not quite so warm and cloudier. The result being that the potentially icy conditions were avoided with conditions remaining quite pristine today. Most classic tracks were in good shape so were only reset on the narrower trails, allowing the Husky to focus on skate lanes. Double passes did occur in some of the field trails, Moose Loop, and Black Hole. Time was taken today to trim some of the branches which have gotten closer to the trails due to the ever deepening snow.
The critter count was good today with a typical moose sighting as well as a flock of grouse on Suicide. By the way, now one has claimed the missing boot from yesterday, it is pictured above if it is yours.
