A few weeks ago I reported that grooming was fantastic on trail 50 but alas it was not the case today.
I left P16 at about 9:30 for a nice skate. There was fresh grooming with some ridges but overall it was ok. Unfortunately the groomer at turned down 36 and there was no fresh grooming between 36 and 52. For this stretch it was skied-out and rutty with a trough about 2 or 3 feet wide running down the middle. The trough was not very deep but still there should have been fresh grooming. After 52 there was again some grooming. Unfortunately it was quite poor with the same kind of trough but now it was deeper. It was like this all the way to P19. The trough meant that the effective skate lane was very narrow. This same type of sub-par grooming was in place on 55. Overall the grooming for skating was not very good. The tracks looked very good, so for my diagonally minded friends they would have had a great ski. Its too bad that such a great trail on such a lovely day cannot have quality grooming to match.
