December 20th Grooming Report!
Winds are Cranking!
As of 10:30 AM the winds were indeed rising into the quite strong range with quite a bit of drifting in the fields. Never to fear, you should still be able to find plenty of good skiing today at Trail Creek with lots and lots of fresh grooming. Perhaps the best bet for today would be to head out to the protected woods and enjoy all the fresh snow from recent days.
Today’s grooming was with the Pisten Bully and covered most trails with double passes and fresh classic tracks. The snow has also finally gotten deep enough to bring the East Fields into the network, having received first tracks today, even if they will probably drift in substantially before the day is out. We have at least started on the base with the promise of lots of good skiing to come.
Speaking of good skiing, there was plenty of it yesterday at the high school race. Thanks to all who made it possible and to those that might have missed their Saturday ski because of the race. It is amazing what our Nordic community can do when it comes together. Top finishers yesterday were from Jackson with Kate Brigham being the fastest girl and Bridger Stiles the fastest boy. Full results are available here.
The critter report today in a word is plentiful- with many moose along with elk and white tail deer, not to mention a few squirrels bustling about this morning. Your Nordic adventure today could definitely include wildlife encounters. Stay out of the wind (or embrace it if you are one of those types) and you can have a great ski today.
Groomer’s choice for today is fully groomed for the first time this year with classic tracks, Homesite.
