March 13th Grooming Report
Final Day of Racing!
Thanks to Coach Luna for sending some great images from yesterday’s second day of racing at the 2021 Western Region Junior Championships at Soldier Hollow Nordic Center in Utah. In the image above Coach Will is firing up one of our skiers in yesterday’s classic races.
Today the skiers are back on their skate skis with 5 and 10 K races scheduled. You can check out the results at Summit Timing’s website.
Today’s grooming once again happened last night and with the Pisten Bully. Our stretch of bluebird days continues with forecasts calling for slightly warmer temps this afternoon. Yesterday’s highs at Trail Creek barely surpassed freezing, allowing the snow to continue in its state of firm stasis. Last night’s grooming made at least one pass on most trails with most forest trails receiving fresh classic tracks. While conditions are quite hard and some classic tracks quite shallow, all in all skiing is pretty nice. If you want a little adventure on your classic skis especially, don’t hesitate to venture off trail a bit (our Devos are masters of this no matter the snow condition; “we don’t need no stinkin’ trails”) as the snow has firmed nicely.
Look for continued evening grooming until tentatively Tuesday morning when we look to receive some snow.
Groomer’s choice for today is try a little bit of all the trails.
