March 9th Grooming Report
It was a gray and misty day…!
It was a gray and misty day as Ralph and Mabel strapped into their Nordic skis. The burdens of the world had been weighing heavily on them but as they ventured out onto the fresh Ginzu skate grooming at Trail Creek their troubles began to melt away.
With the temperature just at freezing and nearly an inch of fresh snow having fallen all ready, their skis ate up the miles on the firm but fast trails. While they noticed that the classic tracks had not been reset today, they were still mostly quite usable. By the end of their outing they had covered most major trails and encountered similar nice conditions everywhere. The great Nordic ski had refreshed their minds, making the world a brighter place, things were going to be great!
Seriously speaking things are looking pretty good today at Trail Creek. Racing at Junior Nationals begins this afternoon. While you will have to purchase a pass to enjoy the live streaming, the proceeds go to a good cause. All the details are below.
Groomer’s choice for today is a nice long ski.
