XC Ski Headquarters Cross Country Ski Report – 01/15

Yesterday was a very productive day for Trail Doctor Bob. He completed spreading snow along the 1.5km John Deere Loop, used the pre-seeder to smooth it out, and then Ginzu snow combed it late yesterday afternoon. The results are fantastic! The skating lane is plenty wide, although the snow is not quite deep enough for classic tracks yet. Using “A” skis is fine as long as you watch for the couple of slightly thin spots. The John Deere Loop is comprised of the main trail vein, and part of the Rolling Hills trail. Our plan is to continue expanding the trail throughout the day today to make it even longer. We have a large stockpile of manmade snow and will continue to make snow when needed. We received a dusting of now overnight, and are forecast to receive more throughout the day today as well. To summarize, skiing is encouraged on the 1.5km loop, as well as the Practice Area. Snowshoeing is still of course a great way to get outdoors today, too!

Forecast:

Today: Variably cloudy with snow showers. High 18F. Winds ESE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 70%. About one inch of snow expected.

Tonight: Occasional snow showers. Low 12F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 50%. Snow accumulations less than one inch.

Tomorrow: Overcast. A few flurries or snow showers possible. High near 20F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.
