March 13th Grooming Report
Sunny Fields!
The sun is shining here today at Trail Creek even if it is a bit of a somber day in the bigger world and Nordic picture. According to the XC Junior National Championships website and the Soldier Hollow website, both the national championship and the Western Club Championships have been cancelled. As of report time these websites are the only information available to the groomer.
Moving forward one still needs to keep fit and perhaps a nice long solitary Nordic ski is one of the better avenues to keep oneself in a good mental and physical state and what better place to do that than Trail Creek.
Today’s grooming happened late yesterday afternoon. Yesterday’s temperatures were about 10ºF cooler than the previous day, making the snow a bit more resistant to being set. Some woods classic tracks were reset with mixed results, however, the majority of classic tracks are in pretty good shape and the skate lanes which were mostly reset last night will be really nice once the temperatures begin to warm later in the day.
Grooming will once again commence late in the afternoon today. Tomorrow a winter weather advisory is in effect with expected snowfall of around 6 inches over the weekend. Next grooming after this afternoon will be Sunday morning.
Groomer’s choice for today is a healthy ski in the sunny fields
