Grooming report January 20, 2018

We did get up to do some grooming on Friday of this week with some new snow and cold temperatures.  We went out to Bone Springs, grooming Jubilee Road and Skyline Road, Elk Trail,  McIntyre Loop, Coyote Loop, up through Spout Springs to Woodland Snow Park, through Morning Creek Snow Park.  Conditions for grooming were not ideal as we need more new snow on top of the old wet snow, but we did smooth the trails up as best we could.  I did break the snow bridge at Spout Springs swamp area, refilled it with snow, but don’t know if that will hold.  The water is eroding the crossing at Woodland, it is barely wide enough for the groomer.  Even pushing snow in it is not keeping it from melting out.  Water is flowing in the ditches along the roads, and across Elk Trail in one place.  We are on bare ground coming around McIntyre and also the back side of Baldy.  There are places on Skyline where we are almost on bare ground as well.  We are doing the best we can in this short snow season with warm temperatures.

Thanks
Jess Thompson, TTF grooming chairman
