March 8th Grooming Report
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
Thanks are in order for all that came together to create a great Western Youth Championships weekend!
Volunteers, racers, coaches, and even those of you who might have had their ski outing disrupted all contributed to pulling off such an amazing event.
A special thanks to Coaches Rob, Libby, Luna, and George as well for sending in some great images.
Life is heading back to normal today at Trail Creek. Today’s grooming actually happened last night when the snow was quite pliable. The fields received multiple Pisten Bully passes, bringing them more or less back into the standard configuration. Some of the close woods also received multiple passes with fresh classic tracks, and almost every trail received at least a single best line skate pass.
It is definitely spring skiing and the time of year you need to watch the temperature to find just the conditions you like. Early morning hard and fast will transition to afternoon soft and slow. Most classic tracks are pretty good today although the ones in the woods that receive sunshine and weren’t re-groomed last night have melted significantly. Skate lanes ins some places are not quite perfect as the snow was getting pretty firm by the end of grooming, but when conditions warm just a bit, skating should be quite nice.
Snow is forecast tonight with the next tentative grooming Tuesday morning.
Groomer’s choice for today is the fields.
