Got crust, no promises.

The trails are very crusty today.  In the main, people were smart enough to stay off the wet snow, so there is something for the groomers to work with.    However, please be advised that no one on earth can turn ice back into snow.

The set tracks are much harder than the skate track and, at best, will require many, many passes to break the ice granules apart.  The existing classic grooves are solid ice and will remain ungroomable until they melt.  It may be prudent for us to wait until Thursday and milder temperatures to even attempt to resurrect a classic track somewhere beside the existing grooves.  As the title says, there are no promises

Downhills will be very fast and dangerous, even the little ones.
