December 31st Grooming Report
A Very Happy Pisten Bully!
Pisten Bullys love lots of cold deep snow, the deep part covers up all those nasty rocks and stumps and gives a nice cushion to the tracks as they chew through our trails, and the cold part makes the snow flow like silk through the tiller into some lovely lines of corduroy. Both ample snow and chilly temperatures were in abundance today which made that Pisten Bully very happy indeed.
As of 1:15 PM the temperature was -8ºC/18ºF with a mostly cloudy sky and light breezes. When all was said and done the recent storm dumped about 10-16 inches of snow which was more than enough to attack the East Fields. Today’s Pisten Bully grooming was 2-3 passes with fresh classic tracks on all field trails, and all woods trails except for the National Forest. Not because of a lapse in funding but more because of the exhaustion of the daily diesel allotment (and the groomer’s ability to sit in the cab for too long) the only National Forest trail to be groomed was a single pass loop out and back to the Old Pass Road.
All in all skiing is a little soft but incredibly beautiful which should make for a great outing if you have time for one last ski in 2018.
Groomer’s choice for today is Armin’s.
