We're back to updating the grooming and conditions blog. It's hard to figure out which site/media source people use most frequently, so we try to keep the "members" email list (become a member!) updated first, then move to the Facebook page and this report medium, the "grooming/conditions" blog. We hope you enjoy reading these!
After all the snow since January 1, we've been keeping on top of the roll packing and grooming, but it's a volunteer operation so sometimes it takes a day or two, and isn't always perfect, but we try. We have had a few equipment issues, as per the usual, but we get them fixed as we have time. We should have the main grooming implement's (the Tidd G2) tracksetter back in operation by the weekend. It sets the best track.
Travis and Nick went out Monday evening to do more rolling and make a pass with the old Tidd (the "Trail Tenderizer"), which does a decent job of grooming the trail.
We'll be using the G2's tiller and leveling bar a bit more to flatten and smooth the trail out, so it should ski pretty smoothly in the coming days. That was a nice period of snow, so we now have something to work with to level and smooth things out.
Tom went out again last evening to bust in the meadow trail, then roll-packed it a lot and generally widened everything around the system. He followed up with the G2 to smooth out a few ridges. More grooming to come Thursday and Friday.
Remember that we'll be hosting the "Chuck Calef Classic" club fun race this Saturday (first skier off from Point B at 9:30 AM), with a "best line" classic track. That means it'll be somewhat out wide, near the middle of the trail, so skating will not be any good until we erase the track later in the evening. We'll re-groom for normal skiing configuration on Sunday.
Get out and enjoy these super-great conditions!!!
