Today’s report is brought to you by the newly probationary grooming report writer, Sondo. When one takes a day off there are two big fears: First, one is the fear things fall apart and the disaster is blamed on the incumbent. Second, one is afraid things run better than ever and you become what is known in the vernacular as toast. Of course, the latter is today’s situation.
I am reminded of Francesco Anile’s Met debut. When Aleksandrs Antonenko took ill in the third act Francesco had to jump on stage in sneakers and jeans to sing the final act of Otello. He wowed the crowd and no one talked about poor Antonenko’s illness. Clearly I will have to up my game if I hope to allowed back in the cast.
Forestville Real Grooming Report: The past two days of Bombi grooming has many trails in excellent shape. Andy plans to work during the day clearing trails and fixing broken stuff. Skiing should be excellent again but without the fresh cosmetic corduroy.

Saux Head:John and Tim worked on the Peep O Day yesterday. It took over four hours just to pack (using two snowmobiles), roll, and drag only that section of trail. Work is ongoing but all trails are not open as of press time.
Fit Strip:Groomed Tuesday night. Should be an awesome place today for a quick ski.
Big Bay Pathway: Groomers will get out as soon as soon as possible.
South Trails: East side of 553 is groomed and open (Jeep, Shirley’s, Chapel and Granite Point). With snow in a.m. please run lower pressure of 2-3psi. The crew will be tackling the west side of 553 today. Please be patient. Snowshoes welcome!
North Trails: The following North Trails are groomed:
The Pines, Penstock, BLP Rocks and part of the lower Collinsville. Riders recommend 2-3 psi, foot traffic use snowshoes or skis. We thank the following volunteers for their knee-deep snowshoeing effort as part of the Operation Resuing North Trails: Tom Fountain, Craig Belmonte, Bob Carpenter, Lyle VanderSchaaf, Nancy Stang, Michele Basal, Lucas Basal, Dave Buhl, JoAnn Buhl, Matt Smock, Jingfang Niu. We also thank those who have snowshoed or skied North Trails after the storm to help pack down the deep snow.
