On Tuesday we groomed:
- the 109 towards Medway
- the “downtown” trail
- the 109 north to the 109/111 crossover trail and the crossover itself
Wednesday we groomed:
- the entire 109 up to ITS 86
- the P.P. x-over
- the B Pond trail
- the new G G trail (Gauntlet/Greenwood Mtn.)
- the 111 and Wildwoods trail
The Parkway trail is being done today (Thursday).
All trails are in good to excellent condition.
There are still a few remnants of the damage done by those who rode on Monday (See 1st picture for what some hot shot riders think is a good holeshot start – they destroy a trail surface by leaving a big rut for the rest of us). In some places they left ruts up to 10 inches deep — do you have any idea as to how difficult it is to fix a 10 inch rut when dealing with frozen material all around it?
We were able to fix most of the damage but there are probably a few places where a ski could still get caught so PLEASE exercise caution when riding this weekend!
