Let It Snow

The nordic center got hammered last noght and today. the pisten bully has a flat tire which requires quite a bit to fix. it should be up wed night. Ho Ho Ho.

The snowmobiles were out all day today packing and rolling trails. the race course is in decent shape and had classic track at 5pm. the wind will wipe awa most of the day's work but that only adds to the trail depth and snow quality. anytime it is blowing we try to have a guy out riding to 'catch' more snow in the tracks. it was very effective last year.

most of the trail were ridden about 6 times, which is what it took today to get them ready for the roller. then it takes 2 passes with the roller and 2 or more passes with the ginzu. It is quite a preocess.

Jerry D put in a full volunteer day today and we altenated getting each other unstuck for hours and hours. it was fun.

No pictures today but here's a good gauge. Snow was coming up over the snowmobile winshield so heavily that if you poked your head up to see through it your face was pummeled and mouth was packed full.

Average depth is now about lower thigh. it is kee deep or more virtually everywhere and some drifts are reaching epic proportions.

Do: racecourse, upper canyon.

don't: didaction, mule deer and creekside connector

Maybe: everything else
