Carr Woods (Ames) 12/28

Carr Woods trails were groomed this afternoon. The groomers weren't in town over the holiday but it looks like the trails received ~4" of powder on top of whatever rain occurred earlier.

I re-combed the entire trail system for skating and set new classic tracks throughout. For the first time this season, the short trail to the low-head dam was groomed. I also worked on the east-west path that runs to Stagecoach Road, but until the snow stops blowing that stretch is pretty hopeless.

Judging from skiers I observed, the snow looked a bit soft for skating. Classic skiers seemed pretty happy though.

A bit more snow possible for later this week. We'll probably make another pass over the trails after that to firm things up.
