Trail Report from Shooting Star: Skiing conditions continue to be very enjoyable with the recent sunny weather. We’ve completed our application of the black sand and grooming will switch back to the mornings beginning Tuesday (3/11). More sunshine is forecasted through Wednesday, followed a new snow cycle beginning Thursday. Enjoy!
Last Local Ski Race of the Season!
The weather is lovely and trails around Jackson Hole and Teton Valley are still in great shape, plus there is lots of crust cruising to be had! To finish off what is guaranteed to be a great week of skiing is the Skinny Skis Wydaho Season Finale Race at Trail Creek Saturday at 10:00 AM. This race is open to everyone and has distances of 1K, 5K, and 10K. It should be a great community event! For more info contact scott@skinnyskis.com
Keeping Your Skis Running Fast in Dirty Spring Snow
The following tip is from Ian Harvey of Toko. When the snow is dirty, the dirt can accumulate on your base drastically slowing your skis. After skiing on dirty snow, spray HC3 Waxremover on your base, brush well with a copper brush, Steel brush, or X-fine Steel Brush (through the waxremover), and then wipe clean with World Cup Polishing Cloth using a lot of pressure. This dirt is often times greasy and despite loosening it up with the wax remover and copper brush, elbow grease and lots of pressure will serve you well to remove it from your base. A clean base is far faster than a dirty base.
