The trail was tracked for the first time this morning. Do not expect mint conditions. The tracks will be shallow, icy, and some spots will have debris in them. Snow texture for grooming was not the best, as the snow was icy. Continue using the rock skis.
All loops were groomed this morning. The skate deck is ready for those good skis. Classic tracks were set, but the tracks are shallow, therefore keep using those rock skis. In addition, there is some debris in the tracks. The landfill loop was not tracked, because it is very …
