Sunshine & perfect trails

The recent chinooks knocked a lot of vegetative debris on the trails and the warm temperatures had compacted the trails. However, last night the groomers worked until about 1:00 a.m. to transform the trails into perfection for the final Town Race of the season and for recreational skiers like the SCUM.

Today we skied Outhouse, Sunnyside and Cliffside to the Fort Wainwright alpine lodge and then skied from this low point on the trails to the high point via Cliffside, Sunnyside, Outhouse, Blue Slot, and South Tower:

10.3 km of perfect corduroy

We finished by skiing Medevac where we met up with Tom Helmers, head NSCF groomer. We had to take a photo with two of the groomers responsible for our awesome ski. We’ve contributed to the NSCF trails fund because we want the guys to continue their magic through the spring skiing season.
