2019 February 22, Grooming Report;
Today’s report is again brought to you by the army of folks, both staff and volunteers, that are getting cold and wet so the rest of us can goof off in a winter wonderland. Check out what North Trails looked like yesterday. Snow bike stocks must be spiking right now. Even the poor relations (me) are looking at snow bikes this year.
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.
New pictures from anyone will be appreciated. I really mean this. I agonize missing some Trail Builders.
Forestville Real Grooming Report: Andy is grooming on Noque, Animoosh and Chiwagi via the by pass this morning. Classic tracks will likely be left as is given yesterday’s Bombi grooming. Skiing should be spectacular.

Saux Head: Our roller had a major breakdown. John took it all apart and did a great repair job on it in his garage. He rolled the trail with it yesterday and it works a whole lot better.
Tim is working at Bay Cliff this weekend so Saturday morning would be the only time he could get to groom, but with the major snow coming Saturday night and Sunday, it may not be worth the fossil fuel for skiing such a short period of time. It will be a game time decision and we will let you know tomorrow. It is rolled so skate skiing will be good but soft and classic skiers will get to work on their out of track technique (remember, I am a “glass is over flowing regardless the amount of water it contains).
Fit Strip: Groomed and track set 2/21/19
Big Bay Pathway: The Big Bay Pathway including Meditation, Bear Mountain and Hidden Grin are all groomed, tracked and in excellent condition. The Ridgeline Loop is not groomed, but a gorgeous back country ski.
Snow Bike Trails: Jer reports the East side of Co Rd 53 is all groomed Riders will still find it soft but improving overnight, rideable at 2-3psi.
Greywalls, Main and Enchantment are all packed and rideable at 2 psi in the morning while cold. Trails are likely to soften as the day warms. Grooming will be ongoing during the day.
Foot traffic please consider snow shoes
North Trails: North Trails, except south side of Wild Cat, are groomed, try 3 psi.
.Of course you can also post your own information on the FB page and you are encouraged to do so. Here is the link:

Too Long To Read Report:
February is often a light snow period with lake ice turning off the snow machine. At a time when most grooming report writers are looking for something to say, we have real grooming information. February reports all too often; “so-and-so has scratched the hard pan surface and classic tracks are hard and icy.”. However, with apologies to the two or three Yoopers that don’t like lots of snow, isn’t it great? Look at the Saturday night forecast.
