Thicker still

Yesterday's snowfall added several centimetres and the depth of new snow for the week appears to be approx. 15 cm. I set 15 km of classic track and rolled 5 km of the skating trails plus K. For the statisticians, this grooming required 33 km of driving. 6 km of the driving was for K alone.

D, R, X, M, H and S are trackset. M and H have been rolled wide and S was rolled single pass. B and C were not groomed.

The grooming implements still hit ground on every loop, even with non-agressive grooming.

S is still not recommended because it remains seriously bumpy. The main reason it was rolled once was to make it driveable in the event of enough additional snow. B is much more bumpy than S and will require a major snowfall, or an army of shovellers.

C was not groomed because the previous work there did more damage to the track-setter than any other single usage.
