Way too Long Grooming Report: Sorry, didn’t ski yesterday so wisdom is lacking today

Saux Head: We are going to roll pack the trail today.

The track setter motor is repaired. Will mount it to the Ginzu on Friday, and groom the trail that day.

Big Bay Pathway: Meditation and Hidden Grin are both open and freshly groomed Tuesday. Trail is in excellent condition.
Short section where logging road being used was groomed and is in tolerable condition. We kept tight to the right side and will hope the loggers keep to the left. Should work out ok.

Fit Strip: Fit strip was groomed and tracked Friday morning but expect several inches of fluff on top.

Snow Bike South Trails:
Chapel, granite point, main, Greywalls plowed last night. Everything that’s open is firm, 4-6 psi.

Border Grill connector is firm, but has a significant water hazard. Be careful or use summer trail until we are able to reroute to drier ground.

Snow Bike North Trails: trails are generally in good riding condition with a few softer spots. Recommended tire pressure: The Pine/Penstock/BLP Rocks 5 psi; Rest of the trails 4psi.

THE TRAIL HEAD CHALET IS OPEN! Chalet hours are 7 AM to 10 PM and rental equipment is available between 10 and 4. Space is still limited during construction but come in and enjoy the fire and company.
