[XC] Blue Hills Trail report

Blue Hills Trail report...

This late taste of winter is providing the best skiing of the season.  Much of the trail system was groomed (rolled) today (Sunday, March 10); a shallow striding lane was set in some areas .  Conditions were very good to excellent skating freshly packed powder with sunshine and temperatures in the teens.  Friday night's rain crystallized the trees, the base has absorbed the rainfall and has become firm with an assist from the cold temperatures, and skiers today had fun dodging the ice-coated branches lining the trail.  A gorgeous day to be outside .

Grooming will be completed Monday, March 11 after our groomer gets a well-deserved overnight rest.
