2019 January 17, Grooming Report;
Thank you Trail Builders:
Today’s report is brought to you by Debi, Kirby, Olivia and Drew Juntila. Without folks like the Juntilas we would not be able to enjoy the great skiing we have come to expect. So, if you see them, say thanks.
If you have not done so, please renew your membership.
ALSO, there are K markers available. YOUR NAME AND FAVORITE PICTURE COULD BE HERE!
Forestville Real Grooming Report: Noque’ and Animoosh are groomed and tracked to 17k. Then Andy and John are headed to the ponds to pack and prep for the Noquemanon Ski Marathon on January 26th. If all goes well they will groom to and beyond the ponds. If you have a chance to ski the sections between Forestville and the race end at the log yard you should by all means do so. It is a beautiful section of the trail from an optic point of view as well as the skiing terrain.

Big Bay Pathway: Sven reports trails are well covered but still tool little snow for good grooming and good skiing. There are roots and rocks showing as the land is quite rugged. However, I would add, for my part, skiing the Big Bay Trails with too little snow is still great. If I could only have one pair of skis it would be bc xc skis for tromping around in areas like the big bay trails. So, although they are not yet ready for prime time, good times can be had.
Snow Bike Trails:
South Trails: Incredible amount of fat bike trails available right now on the south side.
The extreme DH panked trails are really coming around. They are not for the faint of heart. (ed. Note: Panked and Panking are Yooper terms. We can publish a full decoder ring of all terms used in the grooming report again if there is public demand).
7-10 psi on the SBR.
5-7 psi on single track.
3-5 psi on the panked trails.
North Trails: All traditionally groomed since last snow and cold temps have all trails very nice. Recommend 7 lb psi. The intersection of Blue Heron and Penstock is often slippery so a detour is groomed for bikers without studs.
Of course you can also post your own information on the FB page and you are encouraged to do so. Here is the link:

Way Too Long to Read Report: Ever since Heike Onnes first notices the special properties of materials at cold temperatures we have been chasing super conductivity. So, one would think by now everything would be supper conducting at room temperatures much less at 0f. So, how can it be that I am getting this report out so late? As it turns out, humans actually tend to slow down as we approach 0K and by 0f I begin to slow even while the electrons approach zero resistance. Sorry for the delay.
