Pete is grinding away on the skis, getting them ready for skating. He hopes to have them ready for you on Friday, but please call ahead of time. (Bluedog 637-6993)
Warm weather means soft snow this weekend. We don't groom when the snow is too warm and wet, since it collapses and leaves nothing but water-filled ruts. Similarly, you should try not to ski on the groomed trails when you are leaving deep ruts. The aftermath is often impossible to repair once it re-freezes and we can get out and groom again. Try to get out first thing in the morning this weekend, and check to see if you are causing damage.

The Back 9 is in absolute top shape for skating right now. I did not try to renovate the tracks, so they are thin, wobbly and icy. Please stay off the skate deck when it warms up and you leave deep ruts.
