Skating lane re-combed early this morning. Firm with half inch edging. The section by the 'rock-pile' where the snow blower clearing the paved rec trail left a drift was removed and re-groomed. Classical tracks are firm with sections of green ash seeds in the track.

Skating lane re-combed this morning after lots of recent ski and foot traffic. Classical tracks are fast with good grip after yesterday's blast of light rain. Note: Construction started today at the old intake structure replacing the wood deck with metal one. A section of the area where the ski trail crosses has been plowed to bare ground for truck / skid steer access - but a snow path was left to cross that area. Workers thought they'd be done today or tomorrow.
