It was an early AM recon trip to the Fairgrounds to assess the situation following 24 hours of rain and very warm temps. Followed by consultation with the Grooming Squad. The Fairgrounds is still mostly covered by white substance but its more like concrete than snow. And likely there are some bare spots around. We've decided its best to conserve our efforts until early next week. The current forecast is for more wintery precipitation on Tuesday. So we'll see what develops and keep you updated here and on the Blackwater Nordic website.

Enjoy the Winter Solstice tomorrow - the days will start getting longer!!! Thanks all.
