FROM Vasa Trail Ski Conditions >> From the Groomers -
Greetings Badgers,
Winter trail grooming began at 5:00 AM with Dave and Brian on the trail. Due to the lack of new snow and a thin base in the classic tracks, the focus was on renovating the skate lane.
The skate surface is turning out very well for the most part, though some bridging from yesterday’s PistenBully run remains, along with areas of leaves and dirt brought up in spots, especially in turns.
Grooming was completed on the 5K, 10K, Riley’s to the singletrack trailhead, and the Timber Ridge loop, with work currently underway on the 25K.
Cheers,
The Winter Grooming Crew
