The DRXC trails have borne the strides of some 300 skiers once again in the fortieth annual Silver Spoon race. Following the two thaw days of the week, the grooming team put at least 85 km on the two big snowmobiles on Friday to prepare the ice/snow mixture, which has surprisingly little evidence of the ice chips that are everywhere.
D, R, X, C and M loops are now in the best condition of the season with a good, "polished" classic track.
M-loop is not ideal for skate skiing, but the width is there. S, H and B are groomed for skate-skiing only, with no classic track. We shall attempt to restore MSHB to the normal configuration gradually through the coming week. The very dense crust on M-loop is becoming more and more difficult to make any impression on.
