March 6th Grooming Report
Not Quite Yet!
The crust has not quite firmed up enough for skaters to have a ticket to go wherever they want, although it is getting close. Classic skiers can scooch along pretty much wherever they want, but the more demanding skaters need a little more patience before crust cruising swings into action.
Conditions as of 9:30 AM at Trail Creek are once again sunny and calm with the temperature just passing through freezing on its way to really warm. Grooming for today was a bit of a switch up with it happening yesterday afternoon and evening. The Ginzu was able to make really good progress in the beginning although by the end of grooming the snow had frozen enough to cause some problems.
All trails received fresh classic tracks and skate grooming with the best results in the fields. While early morning conditions were quite icy, the afternoon should have some nice skiing for all techniques. Just remember the shadier the trail, the firmer the conditions.
Grooming will commence a little earlier this afternoon (around 4 PM) for Saturday. Snow returns rito the forecast Saturday night so grooming will switch back to mornings beginning Sunday for the time being.
Thanks to Coach Libby for some great shots of Wednesday’s Lollipopper Pine Bough Derby!
Groomer’s choice for today is once again the sunny fields.
