March 19th Grooming Report
Splendiferous Spring Day!
Even though the calendar says it’s not quite spring, it sure feels like it today at Trail Creek. The brilliant sunshine is rapidly warming the temperature as it is passing through freezing at noon. There is also no wind to slow you down on your great Nordic ski today.
Today’s grooming was double passes with the Pisten Bully around the perimeter of the field trails and through all major woods trails. On the negative side the classic track setter had a tough time penetrating the hard snow early on and some of the close woods trails have more than ample poop to contend with but positively speaking most skate lanes as of report time are skiing really nicely.
We are now entering that time of year when conditions can go from scary icy to incredibly awesome to a slushy slogfest all in the course of a day. Be sure to pick your time correctly and you’ll find plenty of great skiing yet this year.
Next tentative grooming will be Wednesday afternoon in order to put in some sharp classic tracks with approximately every other day grooming until March 30th.
A quick update on the Snowy Cabin; see the pictures below, the really fascinating thing about this winter is the overhangs that have developed as the snow has mushroomed out almost three feet beyond the edge of the roof, kind of amazing!
Groomer’s choice for today is to time your ski correctly.
