Auburn Nordic Ski Association

The only grooming this AM was done on trails in Ricker’s Field.  All other trails are closed.  The skating in the field should be adequate but be wary of thin and icy spots.

No new grooming today.  Best skiing will be in the upper field and some of the lower trails that were groomed yesterday.  These trails have not been groomed since rain event:  lower field, Pond Trail(Lollypop), Water’s Edge, Mary and Faith’s Trail, upper Ken’s Drop and Bob’s Cutoff.  We will groom a small amount tomorrow and hope for snow.  Conditions do not warrant laying track.

Baxter Duathlon skate course groomed this AM.  All other trails have not been groomed and there is no track. Please stay on groomed trails.   The skate skiing conditions are fabulous with some beautiful loops in the upper field.  Be wary of a few icy spots but coverage is good.  Remember, Bill Koch program 1:30-3:00 this afternoon.  These can be the best conditions to learn how to skate.

The Baxter Outdoor Duathlon race course  was groomed this AM.   The conditions are variable so ski under control.  Please only ski on groomed trails.  The following trails are closed:  The Pond Trail(Lollypop), upper part of Ken’s Drop, Bob’s Cutoff, Water’s Edge, Mary and Faith’s Trail, trails in lower field and some trails in upper field.  Most of this is due to washout or too much ice.

TRAILS REOPENED!

We started grooming skate lanes on some trails this AM.  There is a skating loop in the field that is in pretty good shape.  Trails are very wet and soft in places.  The amount of rain we got(1.75 “) really limits what we can do.  Tomorrow we are going to try to prepare race course for Baxter Duathlon on Sunday, so there should be some good skiing.
