Mountain Dell

You win some-you lose some. Seems to be the theme this winter as far as storms are concerned. Yesterday’s spring temps were not kind to Mountain Dell. Dan O’ Brien and I showed up to 56 F at 6:00 pm to begin evening groom shift hoping to get some decent corduroy down before the track locked up overnight, or worse, before the projected overnight rains got to it. Not sure if the rain materialized, but the temps barely moderated. As of 7:30 am this morning the Mtn. Dell weather station is registering 49F. The track likely firmed up, but it is not going to last. Get on what’s left of it before noon today. Lower, Creek and the Lolli Stem were all closed last night due to the large bare spots opening up. Wiggle Room had been closed earlier in the day for same reason. Main, Mitten, Lolli Top and Boomerang all received a gentle touch refresher of the corduroy. Too thin to attempt a classic reset, except on the Lolli Top, where marginally decent classic was reset. Thin and opening bare spots exist on several areas of the track. Standing water also exists in some areas, most notably, the final uphill climb on the Main to the course start. Watch out for cart path on areas of the open track that have very minimal coverage. Cheers and thank you for your support of TUNA!
