2/7 Grooming Report
February 7, 2020
Weather report and grooming plan for this weekend

Conditions have been pretty nice lately and this latest storm is bringing in some more snow to help freshen things up. We received about 3" of snow yesterday and currently there is a pretty good glazing of ice on top of the snowpack. It looks like the snow changeover should occur around 10-12pm today but may mix with sleet for some time. As the heavier precip advances, we’ll start to see more snow work in with and additional 4-8". Trails will be soft until they are properly packed and have had time to set up. Please remember to keep an eye out for where fat bikes are restricted. There are signs on the trails in the appropriate locations and if you have any questions please stop in to the Winter Welcome Center.
GROOMING
The groomers were out yesterday and will be out again today and this evening. The trails should set up nicely overnight on Saturday as the temps drop. There will be gusty winds on the backside of the storm so there may be some drifting snow until the grooming crew has the chance to knock out the drifts.

From the Executive Director: Hi Everyone! Well, July has certainly brought the heat, but luckily here at KT there are plenty of shady trails to choose from. Speaking of trails...we are opening a new one this weekend: "Cheddar Slice" connects the bottom of Butter Tubs to the bottom of the Dashney Loop, creating a roughly 4-mile family-friendly loop and adding another way to connect the Moose Alley and Dashney zones. Connectivity has been a big focus this year, and there is more to come later this season. Thank you to all our generous Landowners, members and supporters.
