December 26, Grooming Report;
Thank you Trail Builders: Thank you Trail Builders: Today’s report is brought to you by Lily and the Gottliebs. Lily are feted on the Noque’. Without dogs like Lily we would not be able to enjoy the great skiing we have come to expect. So, if you see her, pat her on the head and thank whomever she is with.
If you have not done so, please renew your membership.
Forestville Real Grooming Report: Happy Boxing Day. Ebenezer doesn’t believe in Boxing Day so I am in the salt pit. However, Andy groomed and reset classic tracks on Noque to 17, Animoosh, Bagwaji, Chiwaji bypass route, Muckwa, Migizi, Zhing, and Boozhoo.
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: Christmas day all skate lanes were groomed and tracks were set on the Race Loop. The track is thin in some areas, mainly on the Peep O Day, Hemlock Pass and near the Scenic Overlook. Overall, the trail is in good shape for a fun ski.
Fit Strip: Trails 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.
Too Long To Read Section: With stoker boilers going the way of dodo birds, what are we to give to the children? Even when home deliveries ceased you could always go to Spear’s lumber and get bagged coal. So, what is cheap and plentiful for adults and totally useless to children? The debate rages in Guild Hall; report writers on the one side and critics on the other. I would typically be gassing on about getting all the coal fines out of the sox before skiing but you both know, I got skis and boots so Santa was way better to me than a bad boy deserves. Please help us settle what has become a rather contentious debate down at the guild hall. What is your vote for the post modern equivalent of coal and switches.
