January 29th Grooming Report

The Bluebirds Are Flying!

Nothing but endless cerulean blue covering Trail Creek today as our recent mini dry spell continues for another bluebird day.  As of 11:45 AM in addition to the blazing sunshine, the wind is calm and the temperature is -14ºC/7ºF.

This week’s focus in addition to assuring some nice skiing for everyone is to prepare for Friday and Saturday’s Wyoming High School races.  If things go according to plan, the courses will be marked on Wednesday with grooming for Friday’s race happening Thursday evening.  Saturday’s classic course is through the woods which have been having significant overnight moose and elk traffic so that course will be set early morning Saturday.  The course map is here.
