Grooming Report Feb 2nd 2024

Ladybird Trail Feb 1st 2024

Trail groomed from 6.5km to 19km cat turnaround on Norns Creek. All went well other than the snow is not so good, as it was raining hard to 19km. We pulled snow from banks from 6.5 to 11km to make riding from cat parking spot better for sleds so please try not driving  past cat with trucks. If  the ice thats on the road gets ruts in it from truck traffic we may have to stay off it with the cat. Some ditches were settled but we were able to repair them as they were still intact. 
Probed 160cm and 10cm of wet heavy sloppy snow. 

Goose Creek Trail Feb 2nd 2024

Trail is also not so good, as the bottom has melted to the point you may want to drive up anywhere up to 1km. Please don't go further than you need to as it does melt the snow off quicker. The best thing would be to stay off it if you can resist the urge. I know how it is, I was there many years ago but it is bad.  The report from the cat team today was that the snow bridge at the Frosty Y is still intact but the cat was sinking into the trail about 5inches so it was decided to not cross it. From the picture you can see it looks good for sleds but if we lose it by crossing it we the cat we may not be able to get it back in this season. Please ride like its spring if you must ride and hopfully we get some cooler temps next week.  
Enjoy the weekend and be safe out there.
