Grooming Report for Jan 4, 2023

The weather forecast continues to deteriorate as a storm front comes in tonight through tomorrow. Forecast temps are going to be in the mid 30s with rain, snow and wind. The snow is hard like cement and doesn’t groom as I found Monday when grooming early that morning The wet rain and slush from before New Year’s froze and we have worn out the 4 inches of new snow we got after the freeze. We need new snow and cold temps on top of this to make smooth trails. The outer trails are still in good shape, but the inner trails near the highway have choppy bumps. I have reports of burned down engines and melted hyfax from the hard snow conditions. I will continue to watch weather conditions and groom when they improve.
