Scott, David and I completed grooming of the trails Saturday with assistance from Steve Roholt on the shovel. Despite lack of new snow, trails groomed up well except for burned out areas on the Service Rd. and lower 10k meadow. Set classic tracks where snow permitted. Highway was clear as of Saturday. Sunday through Wed forecast for snow (yea!) and winds (boo!) so we are planning next groom for Thursday Jan. 19.

Also our XC clinic is planned for Sunday Jan. 22
