February 12th Grooming Report
Looking for Grunts?!
From Coach Kathy, “I told the Lollipoppers there was a family grunts living under the bridge. And then we worked on herringbone and grunted all the way to the top. Beautiful snow! “. Wee little ones learning to ski is always an amazing thing.
Speaking of amazing things, JHSC qualified seven athletes for Junior Nationals in Alaska; Sam Johnson, Elijah Weenig, Kate Brigham, Natalie O'Brien, David King, Bridger Stiles, Mason Wheeler after the conclusion of the Intermountain Division Nordic racing season last weekend in Idaho. Way to go skiers!
Even more amazing things are in store for you today if you make it out to Trail Creek. As of 12:15 PM the sun was shining, the wind was calm, and the temperature was a very Nordic friendly -3ºC/27ºF. Today’s grooming was double Pisten Bully passes of the Moose Chase Course complete with fresh classic tracks. Conditions have firmed nicely with some really nice skiing today.
You will notice a new trail going into the A frame cabin in the woods which is for our gracious hosts the Seiferts who will be coming to stay for a while beginning Saturday. Make sure to wave if you see them as much of what we ski on is their property.
An interesting note was received by one of our long time members who has a great knowledge of snow; “Base Study Plot information at JH Resort: Depth: 50”, avg: 33” we have 151% of normal while total snowfall: 118”, avg: 112”. We are 105% of norm. Difference between depth and snowfall could be explained by temps. The cold, light density snow has not yet settled.”
If you’ve been out you can’t help noticing how deep the snow is, one of the main differences this year is that we just haven’t had a thaw yet this winter. Thanks for the report.
Groomer’s choice for today is to just get out and enjoy this top 10 Day.
