Classic Track: Yes
Nick and I groomed a lap each this evening using Kermit to pull the Tidd. The snow looks pretty nice, and we set a classic track.
Should be nice tomorrow morning.

Grooming Report for 2023/02/14
Classic Track: No
Nick and I had an adventurous grooming session this evening. The snow was surprisingly deep, probably 10 inches, with much deeper drifts in sections. We got stuck in three places on the lower end of the meadow and had to work our way out.
There were two trees down; one between Dave’s and TJ’s, and another on the switchback above point J. I tried to use minimal chainsaw cuts on the trees to avoid sawdust on the trails, so we may need to do a bit more pushing on the logs to get them fully off the trail when we have an extra set of hands.
In the end, we did three passes on the lower road out to the top of the meadow (no passes on the big meadow loop), and one pass on the upper trails.
BB Gun Biathlon
This past Sunday the Southwest Nordic Club held a BB gun biathlon on the 1.4 kilometer loop at the top of the meadow. Sixteen juniors and seven adults raced on freshly groomed snow under glorious bluebird skies. A highlight of the day was a mini clinic taught by our club’s resident biathlon expert—former U.S. National Biathlon Team member Laura Spector. Fun was had by all and nobody lost an eye!
