After 12.5 man-hours of hard slogging, the new snow is groomed on D, R, X, C, M, S (to The Top), H and K. One 450kg snowmobile fell off the edge of the track into the deep snow three times and there were many large boughs across the river loops, mainly on C. For comparison, it takes about 3 man-hours to groom these trails in "normal" conditions.
The intention was to salvage as much of the weekend skiing as possible given that we could not groom yesterday. The afternoon skiers were the happy beneficiaries.
We had significant traction problems on H and decided not to attempt the steep hills on S and B for now. Hopefully soon.
