February 28th Grooming Report
State Champions!
High School Coach Katie reported yesterday that the Jackson Hole High School Nordic Team swept the state championships over the weekend in Casper, way to go team! Full results are available at the High Plains Nordic site, but highlights include Kate Brigham’s placing first and Mason Wheeler placing second in both Friday’s 5 K classic race and Saturday’s 10 K skate race. Way to go racers!
Speaking of racers, our very own Coach Rob is doing a virtual American Birkebeiner today at our very own Trail Creek. While some skiers are in Wisconsin in person, because of the pandemic many more are participating virtually across the country. Rob’s goal is approximately to ski about three laps of our traditional Moose Chase Course, shooting for over 50 kilometers. As of shortly after 9 AM he was on course, cheer him on if you see him on the trails today.
Today’s grooming was with the Pisten Bully and covered pretty much every course. Double passes were made with single passes on most other trails. Overnight we received about a half inch of snow. Most of the single pass sections were skate only grooming although a few places received a classic track in that pass. While the wind was blowing a little more than desirable in the fields, all in all skiing should be nice in most places today.
Groomer’s choice for today is to ski the old Moose Chase Course.
