Grooming

The grooming this year has been decent. Due to low snow levels, I think anyone who is a frequent visitor to the Nordic Track would enjoy it. The track is 100% open.

Beware of the occasional rock popping through in East Vail, or some "dirty" turns as the native soils that lay beneath are loosened from the snowcat tracks.

Be as it may, yesterday was booming! A free demo day for nordic equipment, there certainly was a buzz around the clubhouse and every kilometer of the track. From the Olympic hopeful to the beginner skier, this track is becoming a hit.

The VRD's GCM and Parks Maintenance staff arrive long before the sun rises each morning to lay down new corduroy on the 17K track. During a season such as this it sometimes takes more of an effort marking trails, shoveling, blowing, plowing snow and constant communication.

So far this season no matter how long it will exist has been a success.
