First Grooming Report
Dan Riblett
You may have seen the snow cat out a bit last week and today. The groomers have not really started operations (snow is fairly low at the cat shed) but Dan and Chris did make it over to the West Side Road at Lake of the Woods (Cabin Trail) to clear 10 trees from the road last week.
This Monday Chris and Bill R took the cat to Fourmile via the East Fourmile trail. They groomed from 140 to Fourmile Lake and drove into Rye Spur to pack down that trail. There were a few trees that were removed, especially one pretty large one that was hindering access to all. Thanks, guys!
This year will be a bit different for the groomers, as grooming funds for all clubs have been reduced by 30%. So we will be grooming less and being more selective on where we go this season. We don't want to run out of fuel in the middle of February!
Snow is pretty deep up high, marginal for cat operations down low. One more good storm should put us in really good shape for starting operations!
