December 12, 2018 Grooming Report;
Thank you Trail Builders: Today’s report is brought to you by the nice folks at Superior Timing. Superior Timing is feted at the 9k mark of the Noque’. Without folks like Superior Timing we would not be able to enjoy the great skiing we have come to expect. So, if you anyone with Superior Timing please say thanks. If you have not done so, please renew your membership.
Forestville Real Grooming Report: This morning we are grooming skate lanes on the Noque’ to the pines, Animoosh, Chiwaji bypass, Muckwa, Migizi, Boozoo, Papasay and Zhing. Yesterday rolled up to 510 and cleared saplings and branches.
As always, your feedback is appreciated. Send in pictures and you too can get your K marker moved to the front of the line.
Saux Head: Saturday Tim and John groomed and tracked the entire system groomed and track set. Skiing is excellent.
Fit Strip: Trails were groomed Thursday and are in very good shape.
Big Bay Pathway: Too little snow in the woods so trails are closed. The Big Bay Trails are groomed for classic skiing and are through the rugged hills south of Big Bay. They are spectacular but need ample snow to cover the rugged terrain. We groom as weather permits so think cold and snow. Trails are just off Co Rd 550 in Big Bay.
Way Too Long Grooming Report: As an old person, I have to look back 50 years to an alpine skiing broken leg to find a time when I couldn’t just put on my boots and ski 50k. Now I have this stupid foot thing. Of course I do hope to parlay my Doctor’s note into a new pair of boots but that is small consolation and by no means a certainty. So now I just count the days until the last Saturday in January as atrophy sets in. In the mean time, both of you will have to be the eyes and ears of feedback. I was all set to don my head lamp and ski the section from 17k to Co Rd 510. It was rolled yesterday and I can only speculate that it is fairly good skate skiing once out of the swamp after the first bridge. Maybe I should get a little bell to ring when I need something; like, how is the trail to 510?
