Pinedale Nordic Ski Grooming Report, January 30
by Bob Barrett, Pinedale Ski Education Foundation
January 30, 2010

Last week’s added snowfall has allowed us to expand grooming along the Skyline Drive trail system. The road to Elkhart is skiing great but you may not want to take your good skis on much of the rest. The Old Road Trail from Halfmoon Overlook up to White Pine is groomed but coverage is thin and the route beyond the road crossing has numerous willows showing. The meadow at Surveyor Park north of the White Pine parking area has been groomed several times this week for the 4th grade cross-country ski unit and Special Olympics so the track is fairly firm. The other trails in Surveyor Park -Tree Loop and Flat Line - still are without adequate snow for grooming with the PistenBully.

Kelly Park was groomed for the first time this season and has the same thin snow cover. We are not able to groom the tie-in trail from Kelly Park up to White Pine and the tie-in over to Halfmoon Overlook is track-compacted but hazardous.

The CCC Ponds Pathway was groomed this week with the snowmobile drag from the south parking lot out one mile to the warming hut.

Meanwhile, the best skiing remains up higher. Over a foot of new snow was received at Elkhart Park since our last report two weeks ago and conditions have been excellent. We moved the barricade on upper Skyline down one mile to just above the turnoff to White Pine so the distance to Elkhart is now 4-1/2 miles.
