Grooming Summary

Good Saturday Morning. At 4:00am the temperature was -1C with clear skies. Lots of surface hoar growing, snow crystals that form on the snow surface on these cool clear nights. We had three cats out last night and all trails will be nicely groomed and trackset. Have a good day. Snowdoc.
