December 3rd Grooming Report
Nordic Moose!
Not only skiers are taking advantage of Trail Creeks scenic ski trails, a plethora of mammals not to mention a few of our avian friends have been seizing the opportunity of easy passage through the winter snow. The moose above which was sighted this morning is the first bull sighting of the season. The dozen or so resident elk are also doing a bang up job of packing our trails although perhaps not quite in the way we would prefer.
As of 11:30 conditions at Trail Creek were a temperature of -10ºC/14ºF with calm winds, patches of sun, and a flake or two of snow from time to time. Today’s grooming was a single Pisten Bully skate pass on all currently groomed trails with additional passes with classic tracks on the close field, Armin’s, Moose Loop, and Woolsey Woods. While today’s classic tracks are pretty nice, older ones are a bit sketchy. Cle’s Climb was groomed for the first time of the year but make it an up and back as Faceplant is unsafe being only packed not groomed in hopes of capturing drifting snow.
Groomer’s choice for today is Woolsey Woods.
