Grooming Report for 25 February 2021
All DRXC loops were groomed this morning. Conditions are fantastic.
The only exception is B loop does not yet have a track set (but it has been flattened for skate skiing). The issue with B loop is “the wall” (steep uphill), where we have to let the snow set firmly before we try to drag the track setter up the steep hill. It is no fun getting stuck on that hill. We’ll try to set it tonight or tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, ENJOY!
Also, the tracks that pass under the hydro lines are badly damaged from the heavy equipment working on the power lines.

GROOMING UPDATE
All loops have been groomed for classic and skate skiing so conditions on Wednesday should be perfect. Be cautious on the hills.
Grooming Update 2021 February 16
Last night we did some grooming, before the snow that just fell. We were essentially doing maintenance on some of the trails so that when we groom with the new snow it’ll be really fine. We smoothed out the skate trails and then trackset M and K, under thy hydro lines. The new snow buried our grooming, but we knew this would happen. Our plan is to groom EVERYTHING tonight, so tomorrow there should be fantastic trails.
We need YOUR help with something. While we were finishing up grooming last night, 2 snowmobiles tore up K loop. They came from Balmer Bay. One sled is a hot rod, with high pitched LOUD revving. I’d like to get the word out to folks in that community so parents can discuss snowmobile etiquette with their kids. We have seen snowmobile tracks across K three times now in recent days, and to do this on fresh grooming, crossing posted signs and barriers, we need to address this. SPREAD THE WORD please. Or if you know who is doing this, PM me please and we’ll visit them for a chat.
07 February Grooming Update
M and K loops have been freshened up this evening, with new classic tracks and new skate surfaces. D loop has also been track set. The skate tracks on S, B and H have also been restored, and as an outcome of doing that, the hills no longer have snowplow ruts and ridges .. the hills are smooth now. The hard surface under the snow doesn’t serve well with all the skiing, so the hills might get rutted again after a few days.
Loops D, R, X and C were not touched this time, but withna bit of new snow coming, we’re hoping to freshen up those trails later in a few days.
