February 9th Grooming Report
Your Friday to Ski!
After a bit of a rough day yesterday, the snow is coming along nicely today at Trail Creek. The rain and heavy wet snow from earlier in the week had frozen literally “like ice” yesterday morning. The Husky did its best yesterday to break it up; stable cool temps, additional Husky passes today along with a dusting of fresh snow, and things are coming around nicely as of grooming time. Morning skiers were wearing smiles today. With a light practice schedule this afternoon, it would be a great day to make some laps at Trail Creek!
Today’s grooming covered nearly every trail. In the woods Moose Loop, Animal Farm, and Olympic received multiple passes with most everything else receiving a single skate/classic pass. The fields received multiple passes with fresh classic tracks. One final grooming mission was the reworking of the beaver pond hill today. The normally camera shy elk herd was a little mellower than usual this morning, allowing a distant photograph which shows at least 11 of our fellow Nordic trail users. Cranky the moose was spotted as well this morning, still sporting the antlers he is so proud of. He did seem more or less calm, but if you see him, you might want to go the other way.
IMD racers are inspecting courses in McCall, Idaho today in preparation for the weekend’s final IMD Qualifier. Results will be available tomorrow on the event website, go racers!
Groomer’s choice for today is the Beaver Pond area.
