ALERT!! Big cat grooming this a.m., Friday! WOW!! Should make it more than perfect. To begin with the groomers have again been at work all week. I skied yesterday afternoon and was once again beyond perfect! The campgrounds have been groomed one time since our last two snows and are OK. Hopefully after today they will be even better. Come out and enjoy, and do not forget to support our groomers..hugs, donations, and ??? your choice!

ALSO! The Forest Service is putting up NO PARKING signs along parts of the road. PLEASE honor these and be alert to the placement. EYES UP!!

Thanks, Diane

Friday Grooming Report

gonordic — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 15:42:40 +0000

We were out yesterday. All that we have is groomed and ready for your weekend. There are a few slick sections on the road now and dirty sections in the woods so watch out. We added some choices at the two north beach icy patches so you can pass the the gauntlet of death safely. Outside of the pine needles from the recent wind the skiing is GREAT!. We cleaned the needles as much as possible with the machines. No new classic this weekend. We are trying to preserve the classic that is there mostly still in good shape. Go out and have some fun……Nick

THANKS!! DEMO DAYS!!

legski — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:41:39 +0000

DEMO DAYS was such a success! Great demos, fantastic gumbo, and especially a fun loving and happy group of folks who seemed to enjoy the beautiful day, fantastic snow and chance to try gear! We could not have asked for a better time!

And best of all the snow continues to hold up inspite of someone driving on the road…again. The groomers have worked to “smooth” out the damage and I hear it is again great skiing. Come try it!

Most of all a GIANT THANK YOU to all who made DEMO DAYS a success!

FANTASTIC!!!

Skiing this afternoon was beyond Fantastic! The snow continues to hold up, grooming was excellent and very few folks out. Some might be on their bikes for early Iron Horse Training! So as not to mis-lead anyone, yes there are some thin areas , some trails that are not opened and icy where the sun does its thing! If anyone is telling you it is awful, ignore them and come out for an excellent ski!

Can’t believe how the snow is holding up! I skied this afternoon about fourish! Was beautiful! Yes, there are areas that are icy and some rocks especialloy on North Beach. However there are also excellent areas and fast areas! The groomers are busy shoveling and grooming to help keep the area in shape with what we have. Come and enjoy!

Our “Support Nordic Grooming” Posters, you know the one with the woman shaving her legs, were so popular this season that many were taken from their posted place. Because of their popularity we have decided to make a few available for a donation to Vallecito Nordic. If interested please send your donation to me, Diane Legner 133 Mtn Shadow Drive Bayfield 81122 and I will get one in the mail to you. Remember to send your mailing address or phone number so I make certain you get this valuable and soon to be “collectors” item!

GROOMING TUESDAY

legski — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 04:13:00 +0000

Two groomers were out for six hours each today, Tuesday polishing the skate area and shoveling snow on to the thin areas as much as possible. With this warm spell the area seems to be holding up well but of course there are some thin areas, so please be very careful.

Do your snow dance, light cnadles, pray to the snow GODS, anything to bring us more snow! I guess we should feel lucky as some areas of the country are still BROWN!

Happy New Year to all! And enjoy skiing!
