Trail Report

Big time snow falling on Tuesday. Measuring 10-12″ new snow as of 7pm, 30-32 degrees. East winds 10mph. Another inch or so during the night bringing the storm total to 11-13″.  New snow packing down to 5-6″. Mid afternoon roll-combed the 8km loop we have been grooming and skiing on as of late. The snow was just starting to get sticky, making for some challenging grooming at times. Combed/Ginzu out the connector trail and decided to wait to do any more combing/Ginzu grooming until it drops a degree or two. Early evening I skied the loop. Was a bit soft, naturally, but still very nice skiing and glide was better than I expected, probably helped I rubbed on some FC040S and slightly cooler temps. March ending nicely with 31 skiable days with just two days a bit dicey. Skiing next three mornings will most likely be best before noon. Grooming planned on 8km next three evenings. Grooming skate only and no tracks being set.

Getting stuck on North Loup with the rollpacker. Few passes with the snowmobile then another pass with roller, good to go. Groomed in the evening with Ginzu groomer.
