Deerwoof Fire Dept had performed a rescue late Wednesday afternoon. The narrow tired side-by-side did the most damage and left 9" deep ruts on a third of the groomed trails. 95% of the damage was repaired this afternoon. Interior classic segments still not cut open or groomed (skiing those trails is at your own risk, please beware breaking trail in deep snow is difficult and potentially life threatening). Warm temps in afternoon skiing make for very soft conditions. A morning ski will have a firmer deck and firmer pole plants. Plans are to open southern interior segments soon with potential volunteers riding with me, the groomer.

We got on the trails today by 1:30 PM and went about 13k. We stuck to the outer classic/skate trail as well as the cut-through at marker 6. As far as we can tell, these are the only trails that have been formally groomed. On the groomed trail, the skate deck was pretty soft with plenty of pole sinking as well as a good amount of debris, mostly composed of twigs and pine needles. The tracks seemed to have been cut recently and were quite clean and consistent. Overall, seems like the trails have good cover and are in great shape for the start of the season! Shoutout to the grooming crew for cleaning up the trails and getting them ready to go after the recent storms!

Thanks to my helper (Mark S.) today we were able to open up the north half of the outer loop. Rolled one path while cutting trees from trail, then pulled the ginzu groomer 2-3 passes. In the end, the entire outer loop and the middle cut-a-cross are groomed for skating (a bit soft yet), and tracks set for classic skiing. B skis due to small twigs still exposed here and there.

When I arrived, grooming was limited to the 4k loop. By late afternoon, however, it looked like our great groomer might have reached the entire outer loop. The 4k loop was in very good shape. There's still some evidence of the carnage left by last week's heavy wet snowfall, and the tracks and deck were just a little bit soft and slow, (which is to be expected given the prodigious recent snowfalls -- including a bit more that arrived today). But the tracks were well set, and the woods were beautiful.
