Did You Know?

Nine out of nine Nordic skiers are finding this "ski season" - and I use the term generously - to be perhaps the most pathetic in twelve years.  We did finally get enough snow to groom and Friday/Saturday the skiing was just pretty dad-gum good.  I didn't get out today but would think it may have been a bit sloppy.

Super Kudos to Brad for mounting up the mighty boss machine two days in a row to smooth out the feathers on the Chicken's back.  Word is, Brad spruced-up all the upper terrain John and Dave groomed the other day.  So everything ought to be pretty nice in the morning.

To recap, here's what is currently groomed:
Little Bauer loops, upper and lower
Rush connector
Rush Creek trail
Hamlin loop
FS road from Hamlin to Rush connector

This system looks like it could go out with a bit more rain or, being optimistic here, snow.  Either way, looks like the sun and warm are heading this way post-haste.  The next few days may be the last best chance for skiing for the near term.  I really hope that changes.  The skiing has been a refreshing break.  We went from December to March, and before long, it's really going to be March.  Ullr have mercy.

Thanks in advance for your generosity at the donation box.  Sadly we have huge expenses and scant income on account of people being reluctant to ski on rocks.  Even rock skis need some snow, after all.  Get it while you can, people.  Enjoy!
