March 9^th Grooming Report

Great Images from the Western Club Championships!

Thanks to Coach Ben and crew for sending in some great images from Snyderville, Utah where the Western Club Championships have been going on yesterday and today.  It looks like it’s nearly as beautiful in Utah as it is in Wyoming.  Our Junior National racers are also enjoying some great Utah weather today in nearby (to Snyderville) Soldier Hollow.  While they’re surely skiing, no results have yet been posted on the JN results page, however, results for the Western Club Championships are available at this Summit Timing page.

If you’re looking to enjoy some of our great Wyoming weather today, you couldn’t find a nicer way to do it than by having a great Nordic ski today at Trail Creek.  Today’s grooming actually began last night with an early evening grooming of most trails in the woods.  Focus on this pass shifted between classic tracks and skate lanes, depending on need and sun exposure.  While the sun is definitely strengthening, cool temps for the past few days have allowed shady classic tracks to remain pristine.

This morning’s grooming focused mainly on the fields with multiple passes and fresh classic tracks in most places.  As of report time the temperature had warmed to 24º with calm winds, perfect blue skies, and a strong March sun beaming upon our trails.  And by the way, skiing is quite nice!

Groomer’s choice for today is the sunny fields.
