Headed Out

Leaving the house shortly to groom. Hope to be done by 11. FYI even with the fresh snow on it yesterday the classic skiing was amazing at 5pm. So it is an excellent post work destination.

PR Groomed at 11:30

Road groomed and classic track reset. Most completed after whiteout so still in good shape. Classic track starts at rock quarry because I had hard time turning around at P. lot. Parking lot not plowed so best to park on main road. It’s been plowed this...

Grrr…

…oomed! Well the expected 3 hrs turned into 5 as the snow was challenging to compact – especially at times it was snowing so hard I could not see the side of the trail. It finally let up and I made 4 more passes laying some sweet corduroy and a classic...

Abracadabra – Its Island Time

Machine is back in operation – finished grooming at 8pm for Skate and Classic. If it sets up tonight and doesn’t snow it is going to be amazing Sunday. If it snows and has to be regroomed – it will also be amazing.

Dang It

No grooming today and probably tomorrow too. Having issues with machine quitting which makes for a long walk when it happens at the end of the road. So to keep that from happening the machine is in my shop thawing out so I can chase the electrical gremlin tomorrow....

Heading Out

Headed out to groom shortly after 1000. Hoping to resolve the machine issues. Even if we are unable to groom the classic track is amazing and the skate lane is decent.

PR Freshies

Spent a few hours track packing and rolling the delightful bounty of snow. By that point I was soaked to the bone, so no chance for ginzo and XC track. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I’ll let the corduroy and ski tracks tell the...

Delightful!

The trail has firmed up smooth. Firming is plenty deep for skiing and laying corduroy, but not for using the ginzo. Accordingly, I played corduroy to the second culvert. There is still water there, so will wait until tomorrow to go further. Skiing all the wait out is...

Pretty Nice

Groomed for skate and classic. Track is starting to firm up. It should be excellent after tomorrows groom. Running tip of the day – Don’t run down the middle of the soft and freshly groomed ski trail

Update

Grooming Situation – did not groom on Friday as the snow was too saturated. I’m going to head out shortly and check the track to see if it is groomable.

Ski like Ali

After a mechanical issue was resolved the P Rd was groomed for classic and skate. The low humidity powder from last week is hydrating and packing down. It is still a soft and tender surface. Skaters do the Ali please – as in Float Like A Butterfly – if you...
