12/26/2023 Grooming & Conditions Report

We’ve had a couple of issues with our grooming machines and low volunteer availability for grooming, so it’s been a little hit and miss with getting on top of things. After a couple of days working on our Viking snowmobile, it was usable enough to get in a good number of laps focused on widening, tilling, and leveling the trails so they’re not so narrow, uneven and side-sloped. The outer meadow was also groomed out, but it was windy, so there will be a lot of windblown drift by tomorrow.

While the trails will be cleaned up from all the holiday traffic, they still need some more work. There’s no classic track and even the skate lane needs more conditioning. Hopefully, we’ll get more passes on them by the weekend.

Sorry for the slow grooming response – we just don’t have much volunteer coverage right now. At least the snow and weather are both good!
