Thursday, January 18th
THURSDAY morning update: Neither Keeney nor Prospect groomed last night, but Ellis is groomed to Winneweta and Eagle - Wave area is also groomed. I guess my first choice for today is the Ellis all the way on the groomed and maybe with the powder we can explore further to view the river damage out there. The trees are covered with snow, it should be winter wonderland. We can discuss the options when we meet!!
OK, we have good weather in the forecast and we survived January Thaw. Whew.
The coverage on the trails is amazingly good considering the deluge. Funky spots are due to river and stream ice dams and flooding, but it seems that the Piston Bully has worked wonders to repair the trails for us.
I think the key to an excellent ski will be fresh grooming of the snow-cone-icy base with today's fresh powder. Although the first grooming after the rain and freeze up was good but challenging, the second grooming of the trails provided fast and great skiing.
Let's meet at JacksonXC at 10:00, ready to ski. I will look at the grooming report in the morning and try to decide on the best route for us. My selections would be, if freshly groomed, the Keeney Loop, clockwise OR Prospect Farm. Maybe Maple Mountain Loop will be done, that would be nice on a sunny day!!!
Check this blog in the morning, I will update with my best call on the route!
Bring some snacks and beverage to enjoy in a sunny spot on the trail!!
