Anxious to ski, aren't we all???
Please be patient with the grooming after a big snow event. New snow grooming is all about compressing the snow by squeezing the air out of it. So more snow equals more needed squeezing or in our case rolling and grooming.
The other part of grooming is allowing the trail to rest, set up, or freeze after grooming. Grooming breaks down the snow structure to compress the snow and clean up the surface. Once groomed and depending upon temp, the snow firms up (refreezes). Gravity helps with the compression and aids in the set up process also.
If you see or hear the groomer out working go home or go break some trail. The snow will be soft and slow and you'll leave snow scars that take time to clean up.
This includes the classic track(s) as you'll bottom out and tear up the groove. Being snow is cold 2-4 hours is a good rule of thumb for set up time, colder = quicker, warmer = slower.
Again be patient as your groomers will do their best to get you skiing but you need to help out as well. Brett
