Grooming Update-HASTA XC Trails
March 13, 2023 - We can't thank the volunteer groomers enough - Please Join HASTA
All loop and connector trails were tracked this morning (Monday) & were completed at 9:30am.
While the tracks are very good in places like the Pine loop, they are bumpy in other locations. What I've learned this winter is that rolling warm, wet snow is problematic. Snow sticks to one or two locations on the roller and causes it to bump along creating crosswise ruts in the snow. These groom out somewhat when the tracks are put down, but they don't disappear completely.
A better option with warm, sticky snow going forward, is to use the tracker with the track setters up to drag & press the snow down smoothly and then go around a second time to set the tracks. We would have had better tracks if I'd done that. I'm learning.
