Grooming finished at 9 am

Trail has more ice than yesterday on the first part of the trail and the first gravel has appeared just past Montana Creek bridge. A classic track was set yesterday afternoon starting about 1/4 of the way up the trail and looks in fair condition.

Thursday April Grooming

I’ll start grooming montana Creek about 7:30. Should be ready to ski by 8:30. It froze last night so will probably have to wait until the snow softens up to set a classic track. Should be some good spring corn snow this morning!

Montana Creek Groomed

Montana Creek was groomed for skate skiing this afternoon. This improved condition a lot. More grooming early on Thursday morning with the addition of classic track is planned. Much thanks to Del Carnes for repair work on the Ginzu.

Obstacle course skiing great

Mmachine Down

Problems with MC machine Transmission. Moving machine out on Tuesday. No more grooming for the season. Should be skiing for rest of week with out grooming. See you next year and have a great summer!

The Secret of Roan Innish

Groomed Montana Ck early Sat. AM

Must walk to last rise before the bridge where machine is parked but creepers not necessary. Track is fast early but should slow as temps rise. Track is level and hard in most places with spots of sugar snow. Skate reset as well as possible on hard surface. At least...

Thurs Nite – Still Good!

Still quite skiable for classic and skate after work. Did not look like it was groomed at all Thursday, but JNSC grooming equipment still on site. Plenty of snow to make it to the weekend. If not touched up tomorrow morning, I would caution skate skiiers that there...
