Thursday Evening Track Report

 Doug tuned up the skate track earlier today or last night. The classic tracks are holding up nicely. Everything is a little icy, but still great skiing. 

Ski Lessons from an Olympic Skier

 I am beyond excited to post this:

Improve your technique with 2002 Olympic skier Aelin Peterson Allegood. She's excited to offer lessons at Teton Lakes Winter Park! Contact Aelin at (907)378-1205 or aelin2002@gmail.com. Private lessons are $45/hour and prices vary for group lessons. To register for a group lesson, please visit https://nordicski.mailchimpsites.com .

I (Stephanie) want to add that besides racing in the 2002 Winter Olympics, Aelin also competed in the World Cup circuit as a member of the U.S. Ski team for several years, and spent the last 15 years teaching skiing in Alaska. She's really a lot of fun to ski with, no matter what your ability is. The kids in the Nordic Ski Club got to have her visit, and brought home glowing reports. We are so happy to have her here in our neck of the woods now.  She teaches all levels, from beginners on up, in both skate and classic technique. 

Tuesday Report

 I actually didn’t ski today, but it was great yesterday. (I teach Tuesdays and Thursdays so it’s hard to get out those days.) Anyway,  I made a trip to Idaho Falls this afternoon  and noted how little snow is left to the south of us. So, to our Rigby and IF skiers, the snow in Rexburg is still holding on and is great skiing. We even have more snow in the forecast. We’re not through skiing yet! Enjoy.

Monday Grooming

 It looks like Doug has been out grooming this morning. There’s at least one pass on the skate deck. It also looks like the classic tracks have been reset. These super cold mornings (3F this morning) tend to better classic than skate skiing. It’s supposed to warm up to 28F this afternoon, although it’ll be a little breezy. Sadly, we are at the point in the season where things will soon wind down, although hopefully we can extend the skiable days with some crust cruising as spring gets closer. Some years we’ve had a groomed trail into March. 🤞🏻

Track Update

 Doug just sent this:

The track is skiing great except for a couple of wind areas .   The conventional track has a few more than the skate track and I will try to fix them before class tonight.  James also got our Maverick up and running. 

RZR Grooming

Hooray! Doug is out grooming right now (10pm Wednesday), using his RZR while the Maverick is in the shop getting repaired.

Thank you, Doug!

Grooming on temporary hold

 The groomer is out of commission for a few days while we wait for parts for the tracks. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. 🤞🏻

The skate deck is skiing well and hard enough not to be rutted. The classic tracks are wearing down a bit, but it’s still fun to get out. Enjoy!
