Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/15
March 15, 2015 – 28 degrees this morning and a clear blue sky. Went grooming on the south run last night. Boy, were the trails TORE UP! Thats the worst groomer ride I`ve had in a LONG time!!! Still sore this morning. If you think its bad on a sled try running a groomer for 8 hours with no suspension. This warmer weather sure takes a toll on the trails and snow conditions. It was like grooming tooth paste last night. Snow not working through the drag and sticking everywhere. The drag was loading up and dumping and we just can`t get it to work right. The trail turned out just OK. I am gonna down grade them to just fair for now. I went through our infamous swamp south of town. I didn`t break through anywhere but there are some small holes opening up with some slushy spots and a bit of water on top. I think this trail isn`t gonna last till next weekend. I haven`t heard from the other groomers that ran last night but I`ll bet my bottom dollar they had a rough ride too!! All trails were groomed last night. I`ll try to get ahold of the other boys and get a report from them to keep you updated. Me thinks we only have another week to go before everything goes to pot…depending on the weather of course. Keep checking back if you are thinking about coming UP for one last ride. Groomer Chris
