Trail Support Vehicle Stickers

We soon hope to have stickers (as above) printed soon for those kind enough to donate via the link in the upper right hand corner of the blog.  For the time being this money will be used to directly defray the cost of the gas for our groomers.  

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and support, see you on the trails!

Grand Opening of the Winter Park

We have some pretty exciting news: the City of Rexburg Recreation Department has been hard at work over the past several months to turn the Teton Lakes Golf Course into a Winter Park. The GRAND OPENING is this Saturday. Spread the word!

Grooming will continue under Doug and Randy's supervision over the next few years, so the skiing will continue to be amazing. The biggest change is that the Club House will be open at designated times and classic skis will be available to rent on site. The City purchased 40+ sets of skis, boots, and poles of all different sizes, so hopefully there's something for everyone. We're very excited to get the support of the City in spreading the joy of outdoor winter recreation.

Please check out the City's webpage for detailed information.

I found Jeff and Dan (from the City) unboxing the new gear today.

The Alpina classic skis are all brand new. Here's just a few of the 40+ skis from the City's new fleet.

Regroomed and tuned

Doug let me know that he and a helper were able to fix up the track late last night. The 40+mph wind gusts we had yesterday covered much of the track with windblown snow. The track should be skiable again, thanks to their hard work.

Thank you to those who have donated for gas money. The gesture and generosity are both very much appreciated. There is now an online donation option on this blog (look on the web version on the upper right side) if anyone is interested.

Youth Nordic Ski Club Cancelled

Just a reminder that when the public school is cancelled, Ski club is also cancelled.
No ski club today. See you Thursday!

01.05.19 Grooming Report

It appears Doug has been out hard at work again setting the track for what will be a beautiful day.  The track is still soft but will hopefully setup in the next few hours.  Please be mindful of staying in your lanes if classic skiing to avoid rutting the skate track. Also a friendly reminder that it it best to please leave your pets at home.

Groomed and Set

Jeff and Doug worked on the track in the middle of the night, finishing in the wee hours of the morning. One rolled out the track while the other groomed it. The classic track is set and the skate track is beautiful fresh corduroy. It should be nice skiing if we can keep the wind from blowing over the track.
Thanks, guys!

Snow Report

No grooming yesterday or today - we're waiting for the snow to stop. It's expensive to run the machines, so it makes sense to wait until the storm passes. Plus it a waste of time to groom only to have the track covered again as if grooming never happened.
Thanks for your patience and understanding. This is good snow to put on your touring skis and kick your own trail.
If you try skate skiing, you'll definitely know when you veer off the snow-covered base and punch through the crust off the sides of the track.
