Using some lights!
Today’s grooming actually happened late yesterday when the snow was nice and soft. The Pisten Bully made double passes with fresh classic tracks of the perimeter of the fields and most major trails in the woods. There was a bit of a shuffle in the
woods with a few of the minor trails receiving a pass as well.
Reports from late yesterday afternoon indicated that the woods have been skiing pretty well throughout the day and so far not getting too soft in the afternoon. The fields were a bit soft by late afternoon yesterday and the close woods still have plenty of moose and elk activity and residue.
Unless snow forecasts increase the next tentative grooming will be Wednesday evening.
Groomer’s choice for today is to watch the thermometer when planning your ski.

Shooting Star Grooming Report
Last Updated: 3/27
The trails continue to groom out well, and Nordic skiing should be quite enjoyable! Uncertain weather in the coming days could change conditions. Quite a few moose have been calling the course home for the past couple of days, so please be aware of a chance encounter – especially around golf holes #6, #7, and #8.
Next Update: Saturday

Another day of warmer temperatures and mostly cloudy skies. It’s like the flakes are thinking about falling, but just haven’t decided to yet. They will soon though, snow is coming.
Cross Country/Fat Bike 15k: XC OPEN (Last groomed AM 3/26/2019) – No Classic Track Set, Fat Bike OPEN.
*Note: Sorry to inform folks that the nordic grooming cat with our classic track setter has suffered mechanical issues that are not able to be resolved for the rest of the season. Consequently, there will be no more classic track grooming for the rest of the season. However, grooming of the skate track and fat bike trails will continue as conditions allow.
Pinedale Nordic Trail Report
Last Updated: 3/25 @ 9am
Most trails have been groomed this morning. More or less 1″ of new snow. Warming up quickly. Expect trails to be good until late morning, then softening as the day goes on. There is a calf moose in Lower Surveyor Park trying to make a living. Please control your dogs. The cars are out of the Kelly Park and the trail has been repaired.
Alta Track
Grooming Schedule: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday
Last Updated: 3/26 @ 10pm
Skate: Good| Classic: Excellent
The classic track turned out pretty crisp in most places to make for great skiing in the morning while still firm. The skate lane took many passes to get smooth and somewhat level. I’m pleased with how it turned out despite the challenging conditions. It will probably ski the best with just a little bit of sun on it, but don’t wait too long or it will turn to mush! What beautiful spring skiing!

Skate: Good | Classic: Fair
The course skis pretty fast, but the classic is fading away. Thursday morning’s groom might fix it all… BTW, there’s a black balaclava and a black cloudveil cap at the base of the course rules/map, if you’ve lost yours.
Yeti’s Loop
Grooming Schedule: As Needed
Last Updated: 3/13 @ 2pm
Skate: Excellent | Classic: Excellent
Just finished grooming the Yeti. It always takes longer than anticipated…so much hair. Anyways, classic track is set for counter-clockwise skiing and the skate lane should be amazing. The trail is rather narrow so pay attention and stay in control.
Don’t forget about the orange donate button.
Enjoy!
**3/26 – We will no longer groom Yeti’s Loop this season, however ski conditions are reasonable for classic xc skiing.
