Thursday night grooming report 12/29

Todd and I were able to groom Crooked John, Wulff's, & Cheff's cutoff & made double passes on some to clean up messes from getting stuck! We focused on packing the trail edges where it is soft & causing lots of problems for the grooming crews. The trails look pretty good now & the soft edges should be firmed up now in most spots - I can't speak for trails beside CJ & around the cabin though.

John, Paul and Gus are planning to groom on Tuesday at 10am.  John and Paul checked area on Friday and it was to dangerous to try and groom.  Lots of new snow , maybe 18 inches, over the last few days and wind, bitter cold, and parking lot hadn't been plowed so we bagged it.  Paul checked the highway and parking lot on Saturday and everything looked good except 11 below temperatures.  So unless things change we should have most of the trails machine packed on Tuesday 12/20.

Grooming

Hi all,  I just read the emails about the snow machine move and moving equipment out of the sheds. I appreciate the effort and dedication you guys do/have to keep the ski trails groomed. I am not going to groom again this year. I'll make and install new trail signs - let me know. Ray
