Nordic Pulse

March 2^nd Grooming Report

Joy and So Close!

We’re leading off today with an image from last week showing the “Joy of Nordic” which we’re happy to report can still be found today at Trail Creek.  It would perhaps be a bit more joyous if the snowline which can be seen on the trees in the top of the image below would have moved downhill a bit and covered the trails at Trail Creek.  Even with last night’s rain instead of snow, we are still skiing pretty well today at Trail Creek.

The closer woods trails (Woosley Woods, Moose Poop, Homeward and Outward Bound) are showing quite a few icy patches but beyond that things are still pretty nice.  To preserve the snow today, the Ginzu made a quick loop throughout the woods.

The East Fields where grooming only initiated recently are struggling a bit.  We will probably keep the Husky off of them until more snow arrives.  The Close Field still has good coverage with the main problem being patches of ice showing up.  The top image below is an actual image from this morning which comes close to showing the situation.  Gemini was asked to enhance the image which is the bottom one, the reality is about 90% closer to the top.  The Husky did spend some time in the Close Field this morning with some pretty good results.

Another busy week at Trail Creek is ahead even though some of the programs have wound down for the year.  Citizens in general are invited to ski at the West Yellowstone Rendezvous on Saturday and a good crew of Comp skiers are off to Wisconsin for Junior Nationals at the end of the week. 

We do have a couple of days of warm temps, but it looks like we’ll get some snow later in the week.

Groomer’s choice for today is the upper woods.
