2" of New Snow Packed Down

It was a pleasant surprise to have 2" of fresh snow from Tuesday night. I wasn't able to get up to groom it in until today, but I spent today (Friday) packing/grooming and doing some trail work so that the trails are ready for the weekend. 

Rail Trail and the Loop have been groomed and have fresh tracks set! The tracks aren't perfect all the way around, but they're not too shabby given how hard packed the base is, and on most of the Loop they are pretty great. The skate lane also looks really great. Hopefully it all sets up well overnight. 

Porter's and Jelm both got two passes with the packer. Unfortunately the bare spots are still too significant to take the groomer around, but the packer is a good backup option and did the job.  

I also worked on snow fence today on Rail Trail. I got about 50' of new fence up, and strengthened some of the existing fence, so hopefully we'll see some benefit in the coming week. 

Have a good weekend and enjoy the skiing!
