Whole system combed and classic track set. Initially soft but should set up well and be excellent system wide. Enjoy and thanks to the groomers for all the hard work.

Follow up from my previous report. I skied the Thunders-Rajala loop, and the skate lane is very fast with good control. Be very careful on the Rajala downhill - icy, scary fast and there is a bare plowed logging road near the bottom that you will have to take skis off for. Other than that, a pretty good ski. As I said before, I would not classic; while the track is mostly defined, it's ice.

Grooming

I ran the groomer over the skate lane on Tuesday just as the temps were dropping and was able to wipe out the deep skate ruts from the warm weather. The classic track was left in place as we will have to hit it multiple times to break up the snow enough to set a defined track. Tried it yesterday, just wasn't happening. Skate conditions are okay, I'm not sure I would classic. Tracks are icy and scary fast. We may try to groom again on Friday. Downhills should be okay.

Boomer the Groomer reports trails groomed and tracked today after yesterday's new snowfall which left a nice soft cover over the solid base. Avoid Rajala Run until logging operations are reported completed.
