We got a start on processing all that new snow yesterday - just packing packing packing with BOTH our Skandic snowmobiles. But the snow is very much like beach sand and didn't really pack well. And then of course the WIND!!!. Wow. Coach Rothe and I will be back out there today for more packing and grooming. HOWEVER, we'll close the Fairgrounds to skiers this PM because we're hosting a Nordic race there tomorrow (Wed 2/19) afternoon and Coach has a lot of course layout work to do. I think Coach said 7 teams racing tomorrow. If you go you may need to walk up from the high school as the parking lot will certainly be full. Fairgrounds open again on Thursday AM for skiing by EVERYONE. /groomer sasquatch/

Fairgrounds trails were groomed this morning. Some classic tracks set around the front field but not in back 40. Hope you can get out for a ski today before the next round of snow/sleet/whatever moves in late today. Depending on what the storm actually delivers it may take us a day or two to get things back in shape. Also, we'll be hosting a race at the Fairgrounds on Wed PM (2/19). Likely we'll need to close to general use skiing Tue & Wed as there is a LOT of extra grooming and race prep needed. Its been quite a few years since our snow has been good enough to host a race so Coach Rothe and our Hopkinton Nordic Teams are excited for a home field event!!

The grooming team is busy this morning with other responsibilities (work, med appts, etc) but plans to get out to the Fairgrounds before lunch and will be working diligently to get conditions tuned up after yesterday's wet snow and last night's freeze up. It should be skiable later today. Watch for updates here. Thanks.
