December 18, 2018 Grooming Report;
Thank you Trail Builders: Today’s report is brought to you by Upper Peninsula Periodontics, P.C. The nice folks at U.P. Periodontics are feted at the 8k mark of the Noque’. Without folks like Upper
Peninsula Periodontics, P.C. we would not be able to enjoy the great skiing we have come to expect. So, if you see them or need a Periodontist, please say thanks.
If you have not done so, please renew your membership.
Forestville Real Grooming Report: Andy is out grooming skate lanes and taking multiple passes to smooth out the hard surface. Areas groomed include the Noque to 17, Animoosh, Chiwaji bypass, Muckwa, Migizi, Boozhoo, Zhing and Papasay.
I have not been to Forestville in a while and really need some feedback. As always, your feedback is appreciated. Send in pictures and you too can get your K marker moved to the front of the line.
Saux Head: Trails were groomed Sunday and the skate lane was reported as very good yesterday once it softened up after noon. The classic tracts were fair at best and mostly icy.
Fit Strip: Trails were groomed last week and are groomed about once per week.
Big Bay Pathway: Too little snow in the woods so trails are closed. The Big Bay Trails are groomed for classic skiing and are through the rugged hills south of Big Bay. They are spectacular but need ample snow to cover the rugged terrain. We groom as weather permits so think cold and snow. Trails are just off Co Rd 550 in Big Bay.
Way Too Long Grooming Report: Seeing day after day of cold nights and near freezing days makes one think it will always be so; it is not. We have had very good to excellent skiing for over a month now. It continues to be quite good. I overheard a skier comment that skiing must be done now with the weather of late. Clearly this is not the case. We see a big change this week with both the potential for a dreaded overnight thaw but also new snow on the back side.
