Grooming Report for week ending Jan 24
Dan Riblett
The PB 400 cat ruptured an upper radiator hose on Wednesday last week and repairs were done on Monday and Tuesday this week. Friday was the only day groomed this week. The cat did Cold Springs and up to the top of Pelican.
The PB 100 was returned to Lake of the Woods Thursday. It spent the last week at Diamond Lake for the OSSA Convention Groomer seminar that was held on Friday.
Snow is shallow on the low elevation trails with conditions that look like March instead of January. Grooming will continue next week, hopefully to open up the Sunset Trail and Buck Peak trails. The trail on the south end of Lake of the Woods is impassable due to water run-off from the lake taking away the snow. The dropoff from the snow is abrupt and the water is up to 2 feet deep. The Cat cannot navigate that trail until significant snow falls and the weather turns a lot colder.
