February 11th Grooming Report
A Sea of White!
It just keeps on coming with no signs of letting up; things are reaching epic proportions here at Trail Creek as of late. Since last night’s grooming about 5 inches of snow have fallen with about another 2 feet forecast before Saturday’s Moose Chase. However, Nordic conditions for Saturday should be quite favorable as snow fall is forecast to drop off in time to hopefully be able to provide some firm and fast conditions and temperatures are supposed to be in the very Nordic friendly mid 20 range for start time.
As of 1:15 PM today at Trail creek the temperature is -8ºC/18ºF with light snow fall and calm winds. Today’s grooming was double Pisten Bully passes of the Moose Chase Course with fresh classic tracks. With snowfall continuing through the week look for this grooming format to continue with the classic track being moved back and forth each day for the rest of the week.
Do be sure to give the moose and elk a little room on the trails as they are having a tough time getting through the snow lately. Moose calves are having to leap to move around off trail.
Groomer’s choice for today is Moose Chasing (not literally) through the fields.
