I want to communicate 5 things in tonight’s trail report…not in order of importance:
- I am so happy with how our groom has been showing up daily and grooming for 25-30 k 3-4 hours daily, no excuses…it’s too cold, it’s too windy, I am tired. They are relentless; I am very thankful for such a great team.
- I am happy that skiers have been enjoying the lower snow conditions and are not complaining about the low snow and are excited to be on real snow in the woods. I asked one of my favorite coaches Rob, yesterday” how is the team enjoying the skiing?” He said “it looks like real snow, it feels like snow, we are enjoying your trails”
- Our ski cabin crew, Angela, Rob,and Jay have been communicating and directing people to the groomed trails, and Nordic Pulse is showing us in live time ( if our groomers click it on). We are showing the trails we groom every day on Nordic Pulse…if we update it correctly.
- We have been grooming: stadium, hilltop loop, cherry, river trail, Popple, memory, river , returning on tamarack, then blueberry to cold feet and meadow, the dog friendly trails that get used very little, about 5 k across the road, cross behind the sauna. We are also grooming highlands with the shortcut off blueberry bluffs and all the by passes, we are grooming jack pine white pine and the first parts of Tamarack.
- TRAIL CONDITIONS and SISU, we are grooming 25 k or more daily. Skiers are happy, snow base is low and we can not reset tracks as of today. There is some debris brought up by the daily grooming, we feel this is better and safer than not grooming, We are very sorry the formal SISU race was cancelled. We could not hold a quality safe race for 800 skiers as of yesterdays ski conditions. However we want to welcome SISU skiers to recreational skiing next weekend
