Groomer & skier
Touched up skate track staring at hill top. Firm and fast! Classic track still great. Sunny at MC
Campground groomed and very good conditions.
Was able to flatten the skate track and take out almost all the boot and dog marks. Was not able to reset the classic as it was still too cold. I did try it and may be able to return later this afternoon when it warms up. Temps rising out there, fog lifting and sun was starting to come through through the trees at 11.
Grooming the Camground this morning 9-10:30
Will reset both classic and skate

Montana Creek beautifully groomed for skate and classic
Soft snow, but beautifully groomed and very nice classic track. We found a black ski binding “bumper” on the track, in case you’re missing one. Looks like it was probably dropped this morning (Monday). Contact Betsy or Scott Fischer – scottbetsy@gci DOT net

1. Lower parking lot is not being regularly plowed. Do not park there unless you have a high clearance 4 x 4 truck. An SUV is iffy. I think a Subaru will get stuck because of low clearance. I got stuck in my car. The pull out just down the road from the lower parking lot is cleared and sanded, so either park there or park all the way up by the lodge, as the only easy access other than the lower parking lot trail was to walk down the road to the maintenance garage below the lodge and start at the little hut where the lower cross country trail starts.
2. Corn snow is good for classic. The track is set to the extreme outer edge of the groomed trail so the bigger the basket the better on your poles, else your outside pole will sink 8 inches before it finds firm ground.
3. There is a culvert out about half way on the stretch of trail that runs along the road. It’s a narrow running creek to cross but take time as if you go in the creek, I think you’ll be up to your thighs.
