Saturday 5:30 PM

Crasher and I went out with both Pisten Bullies this morning at 10 AM…it felt odd to groom in the day light. We groomed 44 km of combi trails today and it turned out mint! The parking lot was empty at 10 AM and at 11:30 it started to fill up including a coach bus. Skiers were unrecognisable with their skin covered but I could imagine the smiling faces from the look in their eyes. Sunday Wide Track is putting his “Big Boy” pants …and double long underwear and groom single tracks, I am grooming, using Crashers smaller Pisten Bully, Tamarack, Ridge Runner classic, and a few others including dog trails…so there should be fresh skate lanes and tracks on all 92 Km of trails. Pass the word on to your hometown ski clubs and trails ..we are hosting the 22nd annual grooming clinic again this Feb11th, details below on the website.
