January 25th Grooming Report
A “Moosey” Wednesday!
Not a huge herd, but quite a few random moose were scattered throughout the trail network today at Trail Creek. Not to fear, our Husky was up to the challenge, buffing out all those lovely tracks left by our beloved resident moose (and elk) population!
Overnight we received 1-2 inches of fresh snow. Today’s grooming began with some work in the Close Field in anticipation of an early crowd from today’s winter sport kids around lunchtime. The next item on the docket was to rework nearly every trail in the woods complete with fresh classic tracks. Finally the grooming day wrapped up with additional grooming in the fields and play areas in anticipation of the second wave of youth skiers hitting the snow after school today. Temps are a bit cool in the low teens, but the recent lack of much snow along with moderate temps has resulted in firm tracks and nice skiing.
Speaking of the recent lack of snow, as of January 24th our Phillips Bench reporting station has dropped to 101% of normal, still doing ok, but not looking like a record at this time. It does however look like we’ll be gaining ground in the days ahead as significant snow is returning to the forecast.
Groomer’s choice for today is Moose Loop.
