Promising Turn of Events!
Our trusty mechanic Berg was out once again yesterday working on our Pisten Bully and we believe that he has figured out what was wrong with the new part scheduled to arrive on Monday. We also determined that it is ok to keep running it on slow speed until the new part has been installed.
Looking at the image, the turbo charger on the Pisten Bully is pictured. There is a turbine in part A that is spun by the exhaust gasses and is connected to another turbine in part B that compresses the incoming air. C is a valve that controls how much compressed air goes to the engine and the actuator D contains a diaphragm that moves valve C. What appears to have happened is that the actuator D has developed a leak and is not giving the engine as much air as it needs. Fortunately this is not a major part and luckily a part was in Nevada so things are looking good.
Speaking of looking good, you don’t have to wait until Monday to find some great skiing. While the reduced power and demands of next week’s IMD qualifier did limit how much grooming could be done today, all field trails plus Woolsey Woods and a bit more in the woods received double PB passes with fresh classic tracks. You might notice some new routing in the close field designated by double classic tracks which is a 1 K sprint course which will be utilized in the upcoming races.
12:30 conditions include a glorious blue sky, calm winds, and a temperature of -9ºC/16ºF
Groomer’s choice for today is to ski the fields.

Nordic: The High School Ski Race starts at noon in Upper Surveyor Park today. Mass start, should be fun to watch. Freshly groomed this morning for both classic and skating are Half Moon Tie-In, Kelly Park, Kelly Tie-In, Upper & Lower Surveyor, Moose Ridge, Tree Loop, Powerline and Old Road Trail. Aspen and Looney Lane are flat groomed. Cold this morning, -10F degrees, now is 10F degrees. Couple inches of fresh snow this morning. Golf Course and CCC trails should be in pretty good shape. Sure do appreciate folks cleaning up after their pets. Still a number of deer and moose around – please keep pets under control. Saw a herd of elk on the way up this morning, but they are not on the trails yet.
Fat Bike: All singletrack in the Kelly Park area and upper Skyline Rd has been groomed as of 6:30AM this morning. The temperatures should make the trails exciting to ride this weekend coupled with the brilliant full moon. Take advantage of the great conditions.
