Goose - The trails at Goose Lake have all been groomed today. Trails look really good.

Hiram I made a single pass around Hiram this afternoon with the groomer to reset the track and try to cover up some of the oak leaves. Track did not form up as well as I had hoped. It's shallow and ragged in many places and there are oak leaves sticking through the snow in some areas. No bare spots at this time. Went skiing after grooming and it was good skiing even with the poorly formed track.

Washburn -  We had 3-5" of very dry, light, fluffy snow overnight.  Despite that, the track seemed to set pretty well, so get out there and ski - this is probably the best conditions we'll have all winter.  I see a thaw in the forecast.  Grooming was completed by 10 AM, and I just skied and found that snowmobiles had travelled on a portion of the south trail that has been groomed for skate skiing.  I will re-groom that portion of the trail tomorrow morning.  Also, 2.5 kilometers are groomed for skate skiing – the south Entry, West Access and East Access. See the map at the kiosk for details on skate skiing and trail closure due to logging.

​

WASHBURN NOTE:   The south trail's East Loop is closed for logging.  Our plan will be to groom from the west up to intersections G and H, but the East Loop and Cut-thru East will not be groomed this season unless logging is completed. Be prepared that East Access and South Loop will be out-and-back from intersections F and J.  See the trail map for reference.
