Ashton - Iowa City 2/7, 1PM, temp 26, wind SE 6
Since the early week predicted snowfall didn't materialize I was hoping the surface of Ashton would get baked during the remainder of the past week. The sun did what I wanted and softened up the Ashton base. The grooming sled broke up the surface and the 1/2 to 1 inch snow from the other day mixed well with the base. Ashton might shape up quicker than I thought. The additional snow in the forecast will do wonders for the trail so hope for lots.
The classic track was reset as well, with some creative sled usage I was able to move some snow around at get the groove back. It will be a bit shallow with a few thin spots but it is better than what was not there. Brett
