Ashton - Iowa City, 1PM 2/22
Ashton has been groomed and the classic tracks have been reset. Also the bike trail was groomed the existing classic track looked good and just needs to be skied and packed down.
The skate lane will be a touch soft until I groom it again, probably tomorrow AM in prep for another Iowa City Nordic TT installment. The classic track should be rocket fast after getting a little traffic.
I have moved the Skate Lane again. On the East side of Ashton when skiing in a counter-clockwise direction a person would normally go around the tree line in what amounts to almost a 180 degree right turn. The turn leads to an off camber climb that turns left on the top to a downhill and left turn. I've straighten the trail at the apex of the 180 degree turn and gone straight North to the top of the hill eliminating the off camber climb. The trail turns right on top of the hill and runs along the the hill top.. The trail then turns left down the original downhill going into the left turn.
I've left the classic lane alone as it's in a good postion. Brett
