2019 January 31, Grooming Report;
Thank you Trail Builders:
Today’s report is brought to you by all of the long suffering Trail Builders that have not been feted this year. With school closed maybe someone can go get pictures of all the missing signs. If I had a different gene set (or not so much to do at the office) I would call in sick and go take pictures. I feel terrible and do hope to get a full set of pictures this week. New pictures from anyone will be appreciated. I really mean this. I agonize missing some Trail Builders.
If you have not done so, please renew your membership. ALSO, there are K markers available. Your name and favorite picture can be here too.
Forestville Real Grooming Report: Groomers are parked this morning with double digit below zero (f) and strong winds. The team will clean up after the snow and wind die down. Tomorrow looks to be a nice day and we will endeavor to have trails ready for your skiing enjoyment.

Too Long To Read Report: A life time ago I worked with a corporate communications firm (in the olden days they were called “ad agencies” or “PR” firms; how about that for managing the language?). I poo pooed the engagement until the principal walked through her C.V. Over the last 30 years she changed the language of a generation and the fortunes of countless companies. Without going into details, think of all the health maladies with new names and more importantly, new acronyms. You remove generations of stigma when you come up with a new name. I remember my grandfather suffered with emphysema. Now of course, he is said to have suffered with COPD; doesn’t that sound better? Why introduce a new word when the old one worked so well? So you can sell products to people that will admit they suffer COPD of course. Centuries before the pig farmers hired this lady come up with the term “pork”. It all makes so much more sense now. Isn’t it great; we can point to the evil “Polar Vortex” instead of saying it is cold outside? Put on a hat. I’ll be in the salt pit.
