Thursday 6 pm

Light snow falling…We are skiing on 71 km of trails, Pig Heart groomed with Crasher this morning, we groomed 47 km of trails. Mainly the main combi trails and a few connectors . The skate lanes are skiing quite well, we are bypassing 3 of the big hills and using by passes. The classic tracks on the side of the combi trails are now skiing decently. It is an older track with hard well formed sidewalls and has several inches of powder compressed from skier traffic, there are portions where we wiped out the classic track but in general 75-80% of the combi trails have decent (somewhere between good and?). A hard wax works in this condition and temperature. There are some thin areas and some areas with bare spots, mostly due to the conifers and blocking snow and groomers being aggresive … but easy to ski around them.

classic trails have been skiing ok, tamarack close up and jack pine white pine are groomed flat but have decent coverage. Hemlock return, jacksflats, tammarack after\. the cross over is skiing ok, sunset is rated up a notch with its hills.

we closed Wolf tracks, ridge runner and puumala until we get more snow…they are a bit rough with bedrock out croppings and are more hilly.

PIG HEART and CRASHER heading out in the early am to regroom.
