Upper loop update

Access upper loop via Trickster and then herringbone uphill. Walker’s may punch through in places. Good skate track in meadow and right side of Troy Loop.

First half thin ice base wth just a little wet snow texture. Several ice patches. Second half more wet snow on thin icebase. No classic first half or icy remains from previous track. Set new classic most of second half until getting stuck. Brian

Groomed!

The Boxing Day elves have been hard at work grooming the campground lake this morning for skate and classic. Rumor has it skating is top notch and multiple classic tracks have been set. Thank you, groomers!

Upper and lower loops groomed

Lower loop groomed for skate and classic on hardened trail only. About 4km roundtrip. Conditions are fast. Watch for rocks and wet spots. Upper loop groomed for skate, no classic track.
