Grooming Report #20 Cold but Excellent!

Today all trails were rolled and tracked. At -30 windchill this morning we did an abbreviated track pattern, so some areas that are normally double tracked have been single tracked. Excellent conditions.

Some drifting on the gorge edge of St. Urho's loop

Trails will be soft until we drag again, but tracks still set up great

Grooming Report #19 More than predicted, still Excellent!

On Thursday night we rolled down the 8-10"(12"+ in drifted areas) of snow that fell throughout the day. NOAA predicted 4-6" for Thursday and another 1-2" overnight. We rolled down another 3-4" of snow early this morning and set tracks on all trails. We were able to get most of the drifting under control, but plan to smooth the trails out more with the drag in the next couple days. Excellent conditions.

The new snow depth can be seen on the left side of the trail

Grooming Report #18 More Rolling!

Today we rolled down the 4-5" of new snow that fell since Tuesday afternoon. All trails have also been tracked. Excellent conditions everywhere. Our forecast for Thursday shows very little snow before sunup and 2-4" of snow throughout the day with high winds, so we will not be grooming tomorrow. We plan to groom again early Friday morning.

Excellent tracks throughout the system

 

Grooming Report #17 New snow Rolled and Tracked!

The 3-4" of new snow was rolled down and tracked early this morning. Tracks set up very good, and are all in excellent shape. Trails are also quite firm due to the cold weather. Excellent conditions everywhere.

There was around 3-4" of new snow since we last groomed

Tracks set up great everywhere. Possibly the best conditions so far this year!

Doesn't get much better than this!

Grooming Report #16 Dragged and Tracked

All trails were dragged and tracked early today. Expect open areas to be blown over. Excellent conditions everywhere.

Tracks are firm and in excellent shape

Grooming Report #15 Dragged and Tracked

Today all trails were dragged and tracked. We managed to get most tracks set after the wind calmed down, so there should not be many snow covered tracks. Trails are also quite firm from the cooler weather. Excellent conditions everywhere.

The couple inches of fresh snow was worked into the base with the drag

Grooming Report #14 Drug and Tracked

Today all trails were drug and tracked. Excellent conditions everywhere. We do not plan to groom again until more snow arrives. Expect trails to soften up a bit with the warmer temperatures this week.

Seen on the River trail in the gorge. Tracks set up well everywhere.
