March 2022 Grooming Report

For the month of March we had a short grooming month as we had only 1 week of grooming weather.  We had rain the first part of March and the last few weeks of March were in the 40’s/50’s during and day and not cold enough at night.  Thanks to the guys this winter for again being flexible and generous with their time as we never knew what days we could groom and when we couldn’t much in advance. We have a good team. Thanks to Jeff Wagner for posting the grooming reports weekly, and for the videos of our work he has taken.  We lost probably 3 weeks of grooming during the season due to rain events and warm weather.  Every year is a challenge but this year seemed to be more so to try to groom.  As usual, we had a late start in December, and an early finish to this season due to weather.  Thanks for the club support helping cut some trees out of the trail, especially the big one out on Baldy.
