January 29th Grooming Report
Watch out for Cranky!
The moose count has been a bit on the short side so far this winter, hopefully just due to the low snow pack and not a lack of moose. However, we did have the first bull of the season make an appearance today and he seemed to be a bit on the feisty side. As winter wears on they tend to mellow and just focus on eating, especially after the antlers drop, but this guy was galloping around and actually chased the Husky for a while. What he would have done with it if he caught it, who knows, but still if you see a bull in the near future, you might want to give him a wide berth.
Looking ahead to this week’s schedule, while practices will be very busy, there is no youth racing scheduled for the upcoming week. Master skiers and gung ho youth skiers do have an opportunity to ski in the Boulder Mountain Tour, one of the region's epic Nordic races, on Saturday. Speaking of epic races, the Moose Chase is just around the corner on February 17th, keep training and get your registrations in!
Today’s Husky grooming took advantage of the moderate temps and covered pretty much everything, including some of the out of the way places utilized on busy practice days. Classic tracks were reset through the fields and on narrow woods trails.
You might notice in the chart above that we have some crazy warm temps headed our way in the next few days. In order to preserve the snow base until the next round of cooler temps and snow arrives, grooming might be on a lighter schedule for the rest of the week. The call to groom will be based on analysis of current conditions and will be posted whenever it happens.
Groomer’s choice for today is to enjoy the warmth and nice conditions in the fields (and watch out for Cranky).
