January 8th Grooming Report--Race Week!

January 8th Grooming Report

Race Week!

One of the biggest races to ever happen at Trail Creek will commence this upcoming Friday.  The three day Johnny Curtis Memorial Junior National Qualifier and Wyoming High School Race will showcase some fantastic racing by Intermountain and High Plains Division teams as well as Wyoming High School teams.  Friday will be high school only with Saturday and Sunday racing being IMD.  Volunteers are welcome, shuttles will be running from Stilson on race days and the course will be closed to the public on race days.  Click on the above link for more information.

With a cool start to the day, things have been a bit quiet so far today at Trail Creek although that will change this afternoon when the teams descend en masse.  Extensive grooming occurred today with double Ginzu passes on most woods trails and a Husky loop around the Close Field.  Cle’s climb, although still pretty thin, returned to the agenda today for the first time in a while.  Yesterday’s classic tracks in the Close Field, Armin’s, and Animal Farm are still skiing nicely.

The forecast is quite impressive for the upcoming week; it looks like the majority of the sun will be today.  While the recent sunshine has been nice, it will be great to build our bases and get our skiing into “full winter mode”.

Groomer’s choice for today is to check out the great view from Cle’s Climb.
