February 19th Grooming Report
Getting Deep!
The snow just keeps on falling at Trail Creek with amounts approaching the foot level since yesterday’s grooming. The forecast calls for continued snowfall for the next 24 hours so expect conditions to remain a bit on the rustic side. The local Snotel station Phillips Bench continues to climb bit by bit with the current reading standing at 102% of normal.
For today’s grooming there was just too much snow for the Ginzu to work so the roller was the tool of choice. All trails received at least two passes with triple passes on most field trails. Classic skiing should work fine and there were even a few skaters out working pretty hard but making progress. Slow or fast, it is exceedingly beautiful moving through the snow draped forests today.
We want to give a shout out today to Jackson Hole Nordic’s feature of Erich Wilbrecht, one of our Trail Creek locals. Head on over to this webpage and read all about Erich’s interesting history.
One other mention today, it’s not too late to register for what looks to be a great event over the hill. Teton Valley Trails & Pathways is putting on the Alta Vista Freestyle Race tomorrow. Check it out here, it looks to be a great event!
A quick update on the Pisten Bully; it was supposed to be back in commission several days ago, however, one small but critical part which was overnighted from Reno, NV somehow ended up in Memphis, TN, where it appears to have become stuck, probably because of all the nasty weather back east in the past few days. As soon as it arrives, we’ll be back and running in full force. Head on over to this JHSC webpage and check out how you can contribute moving our generation on to the next generation of grooming equipment
Groomer’s choice for today is a nice tour through the snowy woods.
