Firsthand: Freestyle Grooming [ Trails Open: Partial, ]
|
The trails are open. There is a 1.5km loop from the Nordic Center. Snow coverage is generally good with only a couple very short areas of thinning snow. Trail was lightly groomed as of late afternoon. Classic tracks exist but are pretty washed out. Grooming plans: The Snow Farmers hope to resume hauling, spreading, and grooming snow late Thursday afternoon/evening to prep (and possibly extend) the trail for the upcoming First Chance race this Saturday, January 4th.
