Grooming March 12, 2020
Today’s report is brought to you by Holliday Custom: Holliday Custom is a sponsor on the NTN trails. Without the support of folks like Holliday Custom we would not have the excellent trails we have come to expect. If you see them, say thanks.
Trail sponsorships are available. Please visit www.noquetrails.org and follow the links. You too can be feted in an up coming grooming report.
| Forestville: Warm overnight temperatures have the groomers parked. With temperatures near freezing and no sun the trails may actually be quite nice for skiing. Cold weather is forecast to return tonight. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Way too Long Grooming Report:
Taking time off is risky business. On one hand, you want to be missed. However, on the other hand, you don’t want a disaster. Of course, I return and everyone says, “who are you?”. I am reminded of an old grooming report where Argos is the only one that remembered but I don’t even have a dog. So, while pleased you both received great grooming information I do hope you will let me back.
Saux Head: All trails were groomed and track set on Saturday. Conditions will be variable as temperatures change. Spring freeze thaw in effect.
Big Bay Pathway: Hidden Grin trail of the Big Bay Pathway was groomed Friday the 6th. Spring freeze thaw in effect. Expect variable conditions as temperatures change.
Fit Strip: Fit Strip was groomed Monday. Spring freeze thaw in effect. Expect variable conditions as temperatures change.
North Trails:
Spring conditions throughout varying from rough to ice to no snow. Still fun but expect mixed conditions as temperatures rise and fall. Be considerate of those behind you with warm temps. Please don’t be the guy/gal leaving postholes. Trails will be most firm in high traffic areas.
South Trails:
Spring conditions across system varying from rough to icy. Firm in most places with patches of ice. Plenty of fun to be had. Black Trail to Border Grill most likely done for season. Be considerate of those behind you with the warm temps. Please don’t be the guy/gal leaving postholes. Trails will be most firm in high traffic areas.
Grooming and Forestville Chalet Updates
While winter does march on, we also know we are on the brink of Spring. It is the time of year that we have to balance trail demands with grooming resources. Starting today, grooming at Forestville will begin to ramp back. You will continue to see multiple grooms a week on the core of the system but only one run to 510 each week. The 510 run will be done on Friday night as part of a full groom of the system in preparation for the weekend. Singletrack grooming will be on an as needed basis but expect variable conditions during spring freeze-thaw cycles. Your best bet is to keep an eye on the daily trail report and facebook for updates when making plans. We hope you have enjoyed and continue to enjoy some best days ever on the trail.
New Trail Host and Rental Hours: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10am-4pm
If you should need equipment on other days, please call the NTN office. This is a great time to give a shout out to our wonderful volunteer trail hosts for giving of their time throughout the season! Chalet hours remain 7am-10pm.
