The snow is coming at a really awkward time, but someone said "Nature is a Mother".
The Mackenzie High School Invitational (skate-ski) race goes on M, S, H and K loops tomorrow from 0900h until 1400h. There will be mobs of young people having fun around the chalet and many vehicles on the road until mid-afternoon. (This race was postponed from today, Feb.2, because of a school bus snow day.) In addition, signage for the Silver Spoon race will go out on the trails tomorrow and/or Friday, which will cause minor inconvenience to touring skiers.
M-loop has no track now and will not have one until late Friday. Apologies for this, but M is so rough that nasty things are still not well covered and experience tells us that we will only get one chance to set a track.
D, R and X loops are in the best condition for years right now, but will not be groomed up again until late Friday.
DRXC members and others are respectfully requested to keep strictly off freshly set tracks on the race course from late Friday afternoon until Saturday morning.
If you are one of those people who think that fresh snow on a ski trail is heaven, you are in luck.
