Northern lights were out while two volunteers groomed all the skate lanes this evening. Get out for some great skate skiing Friday and have a look outside just now, the Aurora might still be active!
Classic track setting was redone Wednesday morning in at least one direction on most of the ski trail system. There wasn't enough time to put in double track setting everywhere, as some snow farming was necessary too. (Thanks Pete!) Possibly more track setting will be done Friday if temperatures remain cold and there is volunteer capacity.
Fat bike/snowshoe: One volunteer has been working every day filling in ruts from bikers riding in too soft conditions. The brown and pink pin-flagged trail system might be snowmobile groomed Friday if it is possible to do so safely, effectively, and without running the machine on grass...time will tell!
