A few skate-skiers pointed out that H, S and B loops might benefit from grooming, so I took out a "bed-frame" with an old Ski-Doo and smoothed those loops. I apologise for not doing this sooner, but I assumed that those loops had been flattened during the mild weather, like M-loop which remains completely ungroomable.
Unfortunately for some, there is now no track on H, S and B. This is a first. I cannot set a track out there on the downhills, which are like M-loop, so there seemed little sense in taking out the track setter. I hope that those who much prefer those loops without a track will enjoy Saturday and then pray for snow, and that the classic skiers are not too inconvenienced.
The second first was that I was able to use a leaf rake to clear needles and twigs off the snow in several places. If I have my druthers, I shall never have to use a leaf rake on snow again!
