Sticky snow, not groomed yet

After all of our glorious snow Sunday and Monday (3/12 and 3/13), I headed to the campground after work. The snow was pretty deep, and it didn’t look like anyone had gotten out yet to groom it. The snow was pretty sticky on top, as it had warmed up a bit during...

Peter rolled a 5KI loop for skate and classic this morning. Skate a little soft, Classic good. A 5k loop. Jeff and Peter rolled Camp Ground, Skate and Classic
