January 19th Grooming Report--Balmy!

January 19th Grooming Report

Balmy!

As of report time, the weather station in the cabin is reporting 33.6ºF, a pretty big change from the sub-zero temps a few days ago.  The result of the warm temps and yesterday’s nearly a foot of snow is that the trails are in pretty good shape today at Trail Creek.

Today’s Husky grooming covered nearly every trail in the network with multiple passes in Woolsey Woods, Animal Farm, and parts of the fields.   Classic tracks are either still quite pristine from yesterday’s grooming or have been reset.  The result is that both classic skiers and skaters should find some great skiing today!

Our resident critters have been doing a bit of deleterious work on the trails you might notice if you get to take a ski today.   The squirrels have been enjoying the heat wave, proceeding to drop lots of tidbits on the trails, the moose count, while still pretty low, has still resulted in a few moose tracks on the snow, and our elk herd is as numerous as ever and while not as big as moose tracks, they can make a lot of them.  Never to fear, they pretty much chill out through the day so you won’t see much impact on your Nordic outing.

Many of our high school racers are going at it in Pinedale today, results are supposed to be posted on this website.

Groomer’s choice for today is Woolsey Woods.
