Tough Trail Conditions

Snow Height: 41cm

After the big snow fall last Wednesday which got us back up to 52cm, trails were groomed last Thursday.  However, Saturday was very warm, the groomed trails softened up quite a bit and the ruts that were made were subsequently frozen hard on Sunday.  It was not skatable on the trails due to the ruts, so we just skated on the large fields of crust next to Inside Edge (and the Y).  Careful classic double poling would have worked out on the trails.  Today was below freezing the entire day, so no change in conditions possible without heavier machinery.  We need to wait until it is above freezing again and the snow softens up before conditions can improve.  Or, gasp, if more snow comes.
