January 5th Grooming Report
It’s a Party!
Anyone that’s anybody in the local Nordic world will probably be making the short jaunt to Turpin Meadow Ranch tomorrow for the 3rd annual Jackson Hole Nordic Alliance Free Ski and Fat Bike Day. Free demos on Nordic skis and fat bikes will be available as well as a tasty spread of reasonably priced food, not to mention free skiing on Turpin Meadow’s amazing ski and bike trails will make for an awesome outing. There might even be room on the bus if you emailed info@jhnordic.com right away. Hours are from 10-3; make your plans to check out this special Valley event.
In other area Nordic News, most of the area high school age Nordic skiers are competing in Pinedale today at a Wyoming High School competition. Coach Paddock was kind enough to email results yesterday; you can check them out here.
Here at Trail Creek today the 9:30 AM conditions are mostly sunny and calm with a temperature of -14ºC/7ºF. While yesterday’s grooming reset all classic tracks, today’s grooming was a complete best line Pisten Bully reset of all skate lanes. All in all conditions are great. There is a lot of moose traffic, but except for a few wandering tracks, mostly what you will find is K’s and K’s of crisp classic tracks and firm sculpted corduroy.
Snow does once again enter the forecast for Sunday; current models call for around 5 inches tonight with total amounts of up to 11 inches through Monday.
Groomer’s choice for today is the fields.
