Trails are open. Tracks reset on Sap Run and Sukkerbusk at dusk. Today started working on the west trails, tracking Twin Lakes and clearing and packing Wavy Gravy. Plan is to track Wavy by the weekend. We also cleared North Loup and will pack and comb it on Wednesday. (We are considering tracking North Loup for the rest of the week and weekend with skating traffic light). All the inner trails groomed Monday morning, setting track on the classic trails and roll combing Skaters Waltz.
We will be grooming daily this week opening new trail and touching up all trails as needed. Grooming a little bit slower going with the overhanging branches and downed limbs and branches to clear but everything is grooming out nicely and skiing is great, albeit a bit softer. Use a little extra caution on the downhills and watch out for the “face slappers”!
Classic only trails recently groomed include Sap Run, Mother Hen, JibFly, Loon Return, Sukkerbusk, Mother North Star, Rootin Tootin and Twin Lakes. We have set only one track, setting best line to avoid over hanging branches etc. For skating we have Skaters Waltz, the extension loops, Single Green, Kristin’s Cutoff and North Loup. Expect soft conditions skating, best trail to skate is Skaters Waltz.
