January 19th Grooming Report
37 Teewinots up Grunt!
What a headline, but that was Coach Libby’s report from yesterday that after a great round of games in the stadium, all 37 Teewinots climbed up Grunt and then made their way around Woolsey Woods, way to go Teewinots! In the image below, Coach Kathy reported that there was huge excitement in Wednesday’s Lollipopper practice as the team found an abandoned moose paddle. It was a great day for all of our skiers.
Today is going to be an especially exciting day for our Juniors and Prep/Comp skiers as they are en route to the Olympic Nordic venue at Soldier Hollow in Utah. The IMD Superqualifier runs Friday and Saturday with around 700 skiers in attendance. If your feet were itching for some adventure, this could make for a great road trip weekend to the Salt Lake City area. While there is not much up yet except for links for purchasing tickets, hopefully more will be posted on the event website as the racing begins.
If your racing must stay closer to home, there is not a better place to go fast then at Trail Creek today. The continued cool midwinter conditions have combined with the fascinating addition of about a half inch of ultralight frost snow that has been steadily appearing from nowhere for most of the morning. The resulting new frosty moisture allowed the Husky to do a nice job on its rounds of the trails today.
The fields received a mix of grooming with mostly one of the two classic tracks being reset. The woods narrow sections received a classic/skate pass with the wider sections receiving a skate only pass. Existing classic tracks should ski nicely with the little bit of frost snow; also Homesite received a total rework today and is at its best of the season condition.
Groomer’s choice for today is Homesite.
