Today’s report is brought to you by Jim and Betty Steward: Jim and Betty are trail builder sponsors on the Noque’. Without the support of folks like Jim and Betty we would not have the excellent trails we have come to expect. If you see them, say thanks.
Trail Builder sections are available. Please visit www.noquetrails.org and follow the links. You too can be feted in an up coming grooming report.

T.P. to NMU Race Day
Way too Long Grooming Report:
Yesterday was one of those spectacular days that makes one glad to be alive. Even the old guys that were badly under trained got off the trail before dark. I always ski with a pack with food and a change of clothes in case it takes two days to complete the assignment but that us unnecessary yesterday. The snow in the trees and the view down the basin were breathtaking. I have never heard comments about soft pole plants on the last 5k of the race before; what a great problem to have. Of course, those of us with arms that go as pipe cleaners for Halloween don’t put enough pressure on the poles to notice if the plant is firm or not so it didn’t effect my ski. My hat is off to all the organizers and volunteers for making yesterday so enjoyable. I do hope to hear from both of you and will pass on your thoughts in the days to come. I would gas on for a while longer but have to run.
