Yes, the Chicken has landed. 2016 is shaping up to be the best ski season we've had in several years. We're already way ahead of where we were last year; for the whole season! Welcome to earth, Chicken-in-the-Sky.
Anyway, the Bauer Loops were groomed today and were seeing very heavy use pretty much all day. There is classic track set on pretty much all the lower loops. The parking lot didn't start clearing out until close to 4pm. Way to get after it people!
The Rush Creek Loop - including the CC Road up to the turnaround - also got groomed today. Thank you Brad and Tom!
As far as conditions go, Bauer is firm and pretty flat. The heavy use it's getting means it will start to get choppy pretty quick. We will re-groom as manpower allows.
Rush is still a bit on the soft side, with pole plants sometimes going toward China. Still, the skating up there is pretty close to nirvana. There is also classic track set on the CC Road all the way up to the turnaround. The classic track is very soft in some places. Soft enough to eat a ski or two here and there so please exercise caution and save yourself the humiliation of a sudden face plant (like the one I did).
Lots of volunteer labor today, with groomers Brad and Tom putting in a total of 9 hours. Ersatz mechanics Peter, John and Joan racked up a total of 9.75 hours, plus phone and blog writing time for a grand total for the day of 20 hours.
