Additional Information
January 6, 2008
The groomers are planning to touch up the skating lanes on all the trails Tuesday morning starting at 7:00AM. They will be using the snowmobile and the Ginzu groomer and make one pass starting with the 5K Headwaters Trail. They will leave the existing Classic tracks that were set with the LMC Sunday morning. This is assuming that we do not receive any significant additional snow overnight in which case they may groom with the LMC.

The cold temperatures today, after the light rain that fell yesterday afternoon has left a hard icy surface on all the trails. The skating lane is very hard and icy, but is not boilerplate. You can set a edge when you are skating.
The tracks from Timber Ridge out to the Rock are in great shape and are very fast except for when you ski over the occasional oak leaf. The fast tracks are great for double poleing.

Skiing was great this morning.
About a quarter inch of ice was on the surface of everything this morning, however, all the trails had been groomed with the LMC.
The LMC's tiller broke up the icy surface and tilled it into the finer snow underneath. A new set of deep tracks was set. The tracks and skating lane has a nice fast granular snow that makes skiing fun.

All the trails are in excellent shape. The trails were groomed this morning with the LMC groomer. A new set of tracks were set and there is a nice wide hard packed lane for skate skiing.
