the time is 6:13am and the temperature is -11c. A mix of sun and clouds this morning, clouding over at noon with 40% chance of flurries. The temperature should top out at -5c.
Grooming is nearly finished on Clearwater and will include all the loops. A full grooming of Busk/Euphrates will follow. Apex will be last, including Night loop, Night Creek, Rail grade, Apex loop and Stadium. Cottonwood will be left today.
Another reminder, we share our trails with a moose. Steer clear of her and never approach her for any reason. Moose can become defensive if they feel threatened, and 1000 lb creature can do a-lot of damage!
The time is 5:51am and the temperature is -16c. It will be sunny all day with a high of -3c.
Apex loop, Railgrade, Night loop and Creek and the Stadium are refreshed. Cottonwood is underway now. Soon after Cottonwood we will start on Busk/Euphrates. Clearwater will be left undone today.
A moose has been using our trails again. Although usually a peaceful creature, if approached they can become aggressive. If you encounter the moose, give it plenty of space and retreat from it, and under no circumstance approach her.
The time is 5:51am and the temperature is -16c. It will be sunny all day with a high of -3c.
Apex loop, Railgrade, Night loop and Creek and the Stadium are refreshed. Cottonwood is underway now. Soon after Cottonwood we will start on Busk/Euphrates. Clearwater will be left undone today.
The time is 5:55am and the temperature is -10c. It will be overcast this morning, with a 30% chance of flurries, switching to a mix of sun and cloud this afternoon, with a high of -5c.
Grooming started this morning on Clearwater where both the mainline and loops were groomed. I have not recieved an update from the groomer yet, probably because he is still up Clearwater. I will give a followup update when I know what has been done. I suspect, Busk/Euphrates main line will be done, but not East Busk. On the Apex side, Apex and Night loop, Stadium and Night creek will be refreshed. Cottonwood was done yesterday so probably will be left today.
It is 7:30am and the temperature is -15c and cloudy. Becoming a mix of sun and cloud near noon. Highs of -8c.
With the current dry and colder conditions grooming will alternate on the trails. We have also had a mechanical issue with one of the grooming machines this morning so grooming has been delayed.
Apex and Apex Rail trail have been groomed and Cottonwood is just finishing up followed by Busk and Euphrates. Clearwater, and Night loop will not be groomed today but conditions remain in good shape all around.
Our Tour de Soup is coming up next Saturday so get your soup cups ready:)
