Nordic Grooming

 I groomed this am. Track marginal from parking to Moose Meadows but good out to prayer flags where there was more new snow but only wide enough for single track. Conditions should be good as it warms up. Get out and enjoy it. I noticed deterioration between yesterday early afternoon and this morning.

I groomed the main trail today(Thursday).

It is in good condition, but with the spring conditions, it is best skied between 10AM and 4PM to take advantage of the softer and slower snow.

 I just finished grooming the Nordic area , most of the main track is double tracked . It is groomed up to Bucky not tracked .

 The dog track was not done do to open areas , and is in poor condition especially as you get closer to Kaslo.

Conditions are typical spring condition. Hard and fast in the mornings , slowing down as the day warms. Expect varying conditions especially if it is sunny and warm as the shady parts will be faster than the sunny parts.
 Some water is beginning to show at the edge of the tracks.
I believe this will be the last grooming , unless we get more new snow.

but good tracks were set on the main trails from the parking lot to the Yew Cabin / end of trail prayer flags turn around.
The Bucky Cabin Wilderness Route was not done as the snow is very soft.
