January 21st Grooming Report
Squirrel Appreciation Day!
Even though our furry friends have been in somewhat of a dormant phase as of late in this cold and dark time of winter, there has been some squirrel activity today throughout the woods with the moderately warm temps of -5ºC/23ºF that we are experiencing today. Following this year’s theme of holiday storms, the Squirrel Appreciation Day storm is right on schedule, expected to move in this afternoon although amounts have been dwindling down to the 6 inch range.
Overnight we’ve received a heavy dusting of snow which was just enough to freshen the trails. The Pisten Bully’s journey today was basically a best line skate pass through almost every trail although the classic tracks were touched up on the Homeward Bound section. There is about a quarter inch of fresh in the classic tracks, but they are still crisp and nice and all in all skiing is very nice today.
Today is Wilson Winter Sports which will result in a burst of skiers mid-day and there will be plenty of team skiers in the afternoon, but you should still be able to find plenty of places to ski if you make it out today.
One final note, if you are thinking of skiing the Boulder Mountain Tour this year on February 1st, the registration deadline is Sunday the 26th.
Groomer’s choice for today is to find a squirrel on a great Nordic ski outing.
