New Grooming Hot Line

Sorry for the unannounced hiatus. I was out of town for a month working.

There is a new grooming hotline at 435 797 9900.

Up to date grooming information will be disseminated on the hotline and not thru this blog site.

Grooming has not begun at the Nordic Center (near Beaver Mtn) due to lack of snow.
However, Green Canyon has been groomed for diagonal stride. The catch is you must walk about ¾ of mile from the parking lot.

Bunchgrass was OK for turns above the yurt last Sunday and the ski out was OK, even though snow depth is marginal near the highway.

The NU board is working several interesting issues and I’ll try to communicate some of the happenings in the near future.

Touring Upper Cottonwood

The snow conditions were fair for doing turns, but conditions for touring the higher elevations above Tony Grove Lake/Upper Cottonwood were really nice.
Parking just below the gravel pit turn off worked out well for a truck w/4x4. Some vehicles made it to the 2nd cattle guard.
The Forst Service posted some red-tipped bamboo poles a couple miles up the road (where the road crosses TG Creek). It looks like the "old" road/TG Ck trail starting at the highway parking area will be non-motorized for the time being.
The FS also posted a sign at the Highway turn off showing that the 2003 ROD boundaries are in place. A map is also posted showing boundaries.
Nice day.

If anyone else was out, leave a comment.
