What a difference a day makes. Look at the mist snow over Little Presque Isle.
Forestville: Hard snow and a thin base have kept the groomers parked again last night. Today’s fine mist snow will make for spectacular skiing today. By mid day I expect half an inch to be on the piste; it will be magical. Andy plans a full ‘Bully run tonight. Having some new snow to mix in with the hard pan will make for race ready skiing Saturday.
Fit Strip: Let me know if you ski the Fit Strip and tell us how it is.
Big Bay Pathway: The Big Bay Pathway was groomed on the 11th. Meditation and Hidden Grin are great shape. At the beginning of the trail the track did not set up very well due to lack of fresh snow and 5 degree temperature. It was very cold groomed late afternoon.
It was worth it to prepare the trail for the Honey Bear 🐻 and see the many 🦌 that are running around the Big Bay Pathway.
Boe. 👍😎🇧🇻
Saux Head: Tim Groomed and set track last weekend. I expect trails are in good shape but would like to hear first hand information.
Snow Bike Trails:
NORTH TRAILS
The entire North Trail system was groomed on Friday, 2/5/21. This week’s cold temperature have the trails hard. I expect riding
Caution Areas: Runoff from the penstock is collecting on the trail in 2 areas of BLP Rocks- in the ‘ice cave’ area under the penstock and further upstream, near the crossing across the river- leaving icy sections of trail that require care. Trail users can throw some sand found in the garbage can under the penstock on the ice to improve traction. Those without studded tires or boot crampons should use caution.
South Trails Grooming: On the the 9th Rubin cleaned up all trails.
WTLGR: Even fair weather skiers/bikers like me will want to get out today. Double digit temperatures without that pesky preceding minus sign are most welcome to us softies. Today’s mist-snow will make today special indeed. I was in the garage last night and my skis and bike asked, “who’s that?”. One slides down a slippery slope when you let projects get in the way of your daily ski. So, do as I say and not as I do; go skiing today. (I hope to) See you out there.
