December 24th Grooming Report
Christmas Eve, Pisten Bullys, Ginzus, and Rollers!
An entire battalion of grooming equipment was hard at work at Trail Creek today, working hard to pump out some nice Nordic skiing. The substitute Pisten Bully was focusing on the Betty Woolsey course, keeping ahead of the snow for Monday’s great Betty Woolsey 10K Classic Race while the roller’s and Ginzu’s attention were being focused on keeping the East Fields, keeping those in shape for skiers who favor open terrain with grand vistas. Fresh classic tracks were placed in both areas.
Overnight between an inch and two fell at Trail Creek, actually less than in town which is an unusual occurrence. The current hourly forecast is calling for about three inches by sundown Christmas/Sunday with a couple tenths of an inch Sunday night. The current grooming plan calls for a quick Ginzu pass of the course Christmas morning with multiple Pisten Bully passes late Christmas afternoon/evening. For Monday start time the forecast is 31ºF with sun and light south breezes. With rising temps through the race, it will be one of those really fun days for a classic race, get those registrations in!
Groomer’s choice for today is Christmas joy on a great Nordic ski!
