February 19th Grooming Report
Who Needs a Groomer?
Something magical has happened in the past few days; a lovely crust has developed just under a few inches of light powder on top of the feet of snow base we currently have, opening up hundreds of square miles of Nordic adventure for the valley’s cross country skiers. While skaters will struggle a bit, classic skiers like one of Coach Kathy’s Teewinots are able to go almost anywhere. These conditions should last until the next big snow.
Today at Trail Creek was a busy day, preparing for the weekends IMD Youth Competition. We are happy to report the Pisten Bully was back online today charging through tons of snow. Today’s grooming began with a total rework of the National Forest trails complete with fresh classic tracks. The rest of the woods trails received a best line skate pass although the classic tracks there are mostly nice as well. The fields then received extensive grooming with new trails and recently abandoned trails all being whipped into shape for the weekend’s festivities. The map below pretty much highlights what was done.
While everything will be open through Friday, please limit your weekend activities to spectating (which you could do on skis) or skiing in the woods.
Groomer’s choice for today is the National Forest Trails.
