March 21st Grooming Report
Keep on Skiing!
Some fascinating weather phenomenon developed around the valley yesterday afternoon, around 5 PM the temperature at the north side of Jackson was 33ºF while the temperature at Trail Creek was 49ºF. Conditions were so still that there must have been tiny pockets of inversion here and there. If you are sitting in a low cold spot today waiting for temps to warm for that perfect spring ski, you might check the airport temperature as it pretty much paralleled Trail Creek yesterday.
Today’s grooming at Trail Creek actually happened late afternoon and early evening yesterday in which the Pisten Bully did a pretty good job of laying in fresh classic tracks and skate lanes. The perimeter of the fields and most major woods trails received double passes with classic tracks. While the close woods do have a pretty high load of ungulate fecal material, trails should ski nicely today when the temperature is just right. Woods trails will be more dependable at any time while the sunnier trails will probably be best late morning to early afternoon.
Next grooming will probably be late morning Friday.
Groomer’s choice for today is to enjoy some spring skiing,
