February 29th Grooming Report
Leap Day!
An extra day and even on a Saturday! Leap into action and capitalize on what looks to be a grand day and make sure you have time for a great Nordic ski.
The state championships are in action as this grooming report is being posted. There was lots of good news yesterday from Pahaska Teepee Resort with three males and two females from Jackson topping the results of the first day’s freestyle racing. Kate Brigham and Natalie O’Brien took the number one and two female spots while Elijah Weenig, Mason Wheeler, and Samuel Johnson took the top three spots in the male division. Full results can be viewed at the High Plains Nordic site.
At Trail Creek today the Ginzu groomer was hard at it early this morning making sure that there will be plenty of good skiing. Our 2003 Pisten Bully is once again having some issues so for the time being grooming will primarily be with the Ginzu Groomer.
As of 9 AM the temperature was a balmy 0ºC/32ºF with mostly sunny skies and calm winds. Skate lanes are quite fast and while the Ginzu corduroy is not quite as photogenic as what the Pisten Bully can do, should actually skate quite nicely today. There is a bit of glazing in some of the classic tracks and some sections have significant moose or elk damage, but most are in good shape and the sunny tracks will ski very nicely as the day warms.
Groomer’s choice for today is the sunny fields.
