The Chicken is taking a thrashing with the sun and warm temperatures over the past couple days. The new snow we received on Tuesday simply was not enough to keep the chicken out of hot water. And so my friends, I regret to announce there will be no additional grooming in advance of the weekend. The track is getting somewhat chewed up, especially by the folk who walk down the middle of the groomed track in their boots. In a perfect world, these people would walk way off to the side. Hint, hint.
And so, the Bauer Loop is in Fair to Good condition as of this writing. By Sunday afternoon, it may well be on life support. Upper loops are doing OK - good snow depth and coverage but still rather soft - but we cannot even get the grooming equipment up to them to polish them up because of the very thin snow down below.
I'm not ready to write this Chicken's eulogy just yet. Skiing over the weekend should be alright, but if you use kick wax, you'll probably need to break out the Klister. We may need to start planning this bird's funeral by Monday, though. Even if the season is over (please, may it not be over) we did better than last winter. Progress.
