Fairview received a generous dump of dry powder last night, about 8-9″. Today the 7 km of track was rolled in order to knock the fluff out of the snow and begin to establish a base. When all is said and done, the base is only a few inches due to the lack of moisture in the snow but the track came out well- about the best way I can think of to start the grooming year. This week will be day by day but the goal will be to stay on top of all the snow that is in the forecast. That may mean lots of rolling and compacting until the pattern quiets down. Meanwhile, a rolled track should be good to skate on as well as go out and ski classic. Whenever there is not much new snow, I will also drag the track with the Tidd Tech and set a classic track in which case very nice ski conditions should prevail.
