Wednesday Night Die Hards Brave Weather Propaganda
Thursday, 31 January 2008

ImageAnother Wednesday night and another bout of crazy weather. Luckily the strongest winds had abated by the evening and things were looking up! The groomer was out making the icy hardpan into perfect corduroy. Again the PB proved it is still worth every penny. The skating on the Yellow trail was as good as it’s ever been. The trails were fast and you could still get an edge. Unfortunately, due to global warming propaganda most people didn’t make it out. There were only two die hard skier that braved the “elements”. Luckily one was authorized to groom the trails. However, I can’t gloat too much, about halfway into the ski the power went out on Northshore road and the trails went dark. Shaken but not stirred, the two resourceful skiers went to headlamp backup and salvaged the workout. It would have been a good night for a TT, record times would have been set!! Let’s hope next week brings some reasonable weather so that people won’t be frightened. See you on the trails! Read more for a few pics of the trails (before the lights went out).
