So Much Snow

Ski trails were groomed on Friday.

Snowshoe trails have tracks to the Big Bog and minor slushing that should be solid by now.  Dog Lake would be a good hike for someone who wants to break trail, but don't go to Mist Lake unless you know the way and can deal with some slush.

There will be no fat biking in the Underdown for a week and maybe longer.

Race Conditions

Trails were perfect on Tuesday, and only a couple inches of powder fell on Thursday.  The Dog Lake loop has been dragged extensively since then so the race is definitely on.  Ski trails were all groomed Friday and grooming has been going on at Bradley Park for days.

The solo race runs counter-clockwise to Dog Lake at 10AM, and the 2-hour team race will run clockwise on trails A and Z at noon or whenever we get set to go again.    Pasta and sausage at halftime.

Beautiful

Underdown got another 5 inches of snow this week so the base has nearly reached the seat of the benches.

Ski: Trails are all freshly tracked including a great skate lane down Loop Road
Snowshoe: Beautiful with no real slush problems
Fat Bike: Pretty good to the Big Bog.  Not ready to Dog Lake, but we're working on it
