Grooming January 21, 2021
Forestville: Andy will have everything skate groomed inside 17k. Then he is heading back out with roller to widen the stretch beyond 510. So the skate lanes will be rolled smooth through there as well.
Call for Rental Equipment: The equipment rentals at our Forestville Trailhead have been very popular this season. It has been great to see so many discovering skiing but the high use and required COVID sit period for boots occasionally leaves us in short supply. We could use extra classic and skate NNN boots, NNN classic no-wax skis or poles that you may have sitting around and would be willing to donate. Please drop off at Forestville any time 10-4 weekdays or 9-4 weekends. Thanks for your support!”

Saux Head: Craig rolled the trail system Sunday the 17th. There are several icy areas on the East end of the Peep O Day section, but the remaining trail system is in good shape. There is not enough base to groom or set track yet.
Snow Bike Trails:
NORTH TRAILS
Main loop groomed.
South Trails Grooming:
Ruben hit everything but Greywalls and Black on south with a SnowDog today. Also did Eh line but it’s really soft so it needs a couple days to firm up. Everything else is really good right now.
WTLGR: I can hear it now. Not unlike the rhythmic chant during college hockey games. I’m a fair weather skier, fair weather skier. I didn’t get out yesterday and today looks booked as well. And, to top that, tomorrow isn’t looking so good. So, you will be getting second hand information for a few days. I know you will both howl about paying me good money for good reports. Well, …I guess one tends to get value for value. Sorry.
See you out there,
