March 23rd Grooming Report
Lots of Moose!
One of the things that Trail Creek is famous for is the amazing population of moose. If you’ve skied Trail Creek, you’ve probably skied around a moose or two. While the images above are by no means the extent of the official Trail Creek Moose Photo Collection, if you are quarantined (or even at work and looking for a diversion) and want to check it out, click on the image and you can see them all. One more moose diversion—if you click on this link you will see a video from a few years back of a pair of bulls sparring in Woolsey Woods.
You could actually see (no guarantees) a live breathing moose if you head on out to Trail Creek today for a great Nordic ski. Skier days continue to break records for late March; people are out, maintaining their distance, and keeping healthy.
Today’s grooming was once again last night with the Ginzu groomer making skate passes on most major trails. Classic tracks were in pretty good shape and not touched. Conditions were such that some of the minor woods trails that had not been groomed recently also got a quick Ginzu touch. Skiing should be good today.
If snow forecast overnight exceeds two inches, look for the next grooming Tuesday morning, but otherwise late this afternoon. Later in the week nighttime temps are forecast to drop, which should make for some good crust conditions.
Groomer’s choice for today is to try to find a moose (but maintain social distance!)
