Saturday 6:30 PM

We had a great crew out this early, early morning, Wide Track on the Single Tracks and Pig Heart with the bigger Pisten Bully grooming the Noth end and Crasher grooming the South end. We groomed all 95 km of trails and were back in the barn at 9 AM…

Skiing was great today, most skiers started at 10:30-12 when temps warmed up. A great mix of “out of town” skiers up for weekend skiing 2-3 days recreational skiers, local recreational skiers and skiers wanting the hard tracks and firm PB skate lanes as they get one of their last skis in before the Birkie.

We plan to regroom about 75 km in the AM . Wide Track and Partner heading out in the early AM to regroom classics. Crasher and Pig Heart heading out to powertill with the 2 Pisten Bullies. Pig Heart is heading south; Crasher is heading North, We do not plan to regroom the 3 black Diamond trails Pelty, Ridge Runner, or Dog Trails. Theya re lightly used and in very good shape, there may be a bit of drifting in the open areas.

Friday 6:45 PM

Wide Track and Pig Heart groomed a mid morning shift today. It was a bit blustery with white out conditions about 4-5 PM. The storm seems to have calmed for now.

Both Pisten Bullies are heading out in the early AM and Widetrack plans to regroom all the single track in the AM. Ridge Runner is going back to skating Saturday AM.

Thursday 7 :15 PM

Groomers slept in this morning. Trails were in great shape.

Beth and Dorothy skied by as I was doing trailhead maintenance late morning. The Icelandic sweaters caught my eye. They seemed so warm and happy at 6 above. They skied over from Everet’s Rustic Cabin and were enjoying a few days of Mother/ Daughter skiing and hanging out. This is the experience that keeps Angela and I motivated to run our ski trails. It is so satisfying to see people out enjoying the outdoors.

Wide Track and Pig Heart are heading out grooming in the morning.

Wednesday 7 PM

Great skiing today, warm temps, no wind and fresh grooming!
