Bucky groomed all the way to Shelagh’s Shelter via the bench, Coombs Road, Cypass and the Birches and back. This track is slower than the ungroomed stuff-3 out of 4- with enough loose stuff to snow plow and herring bone,

Bucky will groom CTT and Lollipop Loop today -not much point spending a lot of effort until after tomorrow’s warm spell. This should provide some level skiing with nice glide-2.5-3/4 and some grip. Wax may even work here, as will

As temps warm today conditions will slow and likely get a bit mushy by late afternoon. Glide should drop to under 2 eventually. Skins, waxless and zero skis will give adequate grip. The snow fleas should be hopping about in

If you keep to the right on Walker Road heading to Quarry Road the wet and gnarly section of road is now quite passable. And this will be a less busy venue during Jack Rabbit lessons today.

But the sun is out, and once you are in the woods you’ll be as warm as toast! Bucky is out grooming and trails should be in tip-top shape by mid day, which will likely be the warmest time to
