March 8th Grooming Report
Missed the Snow!
It would have been very nice to get a few inches of snow to freshen things up a bit at Trail Creek last night, but even though we didn’t, things are coming around nicely. As of 11:45 AM the warm 3ºC/37ºF temperature and partly cloudy skies are softening the snow nicely.
The map above is the course for tomorrow’s 5 and 10 K classic races, click on it to see the amazing amount of data conveyed. Today’s primary agenda at nationals is opening ceremonies and while our athletes are surely getting some skiing in at Donner Pass, racing doesn’t begin until tomorrow. One slightly negative note, it appears from the event website that in order to view live streaming one will have to pay a pretty hefty fee, if a more affordable alternative is discovered it will be passed on here.
Today’s grooming was with the Ginzu groomer and commenced in the fields. Initial conditions were very icy, but by midday the fields were skiing nicely and the woods were just about there as well. No classic tracks were set today but mostly remain in ok shape.
Groomer’s choice for today is the fields.
