We had a little difficulty with the tracksetter the other day (it wouldn't raise) so there were some corners with tight tracks. I figured that out and touched up the skate deck Saturday morning. The fields have been groomed, but they need more snow. Stay in the woods. We have things pretty level and firm, it is skiing better every day. There are a few spots where the tracksetter burned through the deck and is brown, so I would go with B skis for classic but in the woods on skate skis you shouldn't have to worry.

Grooming plans: We are waiting for the temps to drop and will start grooming about 1pm on Monday. The goal is to have everything ready to go Tuesday morning.

The trails in Rockman's Woods and on school property have been groomed for skating and classic skiing. The classic tracks were pretty well set and the skate deck was touched up Sunday evening after the initial Saturday grooming. The Skate deck is starting to firm up and should make for nice skiing in the morning and evening hours. The classic tracks were nice and should become firmer. They have washed out a little on some of the corners and curves. Good skis could be used for either technique because the thin spots are few and far between. The lights are on, so enjoy the night skiing.

15 inches or so compacted into 3-4 inches of base. 10 hours and 10 gallons of petrol to get the woods and school areas in great shape.
