High temps are getting to around 32 degrees, so snow is warming up in the middle of the day -- skate lane is getting a bit mushy, and get out the pink wax! Classic tracks are holding up nicely, but you will need some Violet for kick wax. Highs tomorrow should be in upper 20s, with lows around 15 degrees. Al also groomed Ward this morning -- if you want to ski Ward, make sure to get out the next couple of weeks, as March 14 will be our last day for grooming there. Snow is getting really slushy in the early afternoon hours down there, so get out early. </div> <div> </div> <div>Our next grooming will be Friday afternoon/evening (3 pm) for Skyway/County Line and Friday morning (9 am) for Ward.

Also, looks like Weather Gods have smiled on us as the snow looks to be delayed until dark this evening, however, a full moon is still doubtful. Snow is expected to continue through tomorrow, so we will be grooming at 10 a.m. for those who choose to come up and follow the groomer -- we will probably groom trails mostly in trees -- Winslow/Sunset, Loop 3, Dog Loop, Kannah Crossing. Next grooming after tomorr will not be until Tuesday morning after snow is over. </div> <div> </div> <div>Leslie<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Are you a member of the Grand Mesa Nordic Council?

Here's an update including plans on what to bring and thoughts on the weather forecast. First, weather: we expect some wind and snow building late afternoon on Saturday continuing into Sunday morning. We'd suggest that you plan on skiing early afternoon then join us for soup/tortillas at 4 p.m. after you finish skiing. If you are absolutely set on trying to have a moonlight ski - we'd suggest having headlamps since there will be a cloud cover AND more importantly, if the snow starts coming in heavy, CDOT quits plowing at 7 p.m. Your moonlight ski could pose "getting off the Mesa" problems with road conditions. We want people to be safe out there so our suggestion is to ski prior to the party.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Please bring your favorite beverage, cup, bowl, spoon and pack up snacks or dessert to add to the soup and tortillas that are generously provided by the Palisade Cafe and Grill. We'll have hot chocolate and tea available PLUS a warming fire and plenty of good company.

With Leslie's, Dave's and Christie's promoting of donations, GMNC has done very well at the boxes. But we had a RECORD breaking amount at County Line box and the table set up February 14.<BR>The total was $759.

We are anticipating them re-opening it tomorrow. Snow is supposed to taper off by tomorrow afternoon, so we are sending both Al and Jon up tomorrow afternoon at 1 pm (if road is open) to start on Skyway/County Line grooming. Please be patient during this time as there is around 3 feet of new snow and considerable drifiting, so it will take us many hours to get the trails in skiable condition. Jon will be back up on Tuesday morning to finish up the rest, and Al will re-groom Ward on Tuesday afternoon. We anticipate some good weather for Tuesday into Thursday, and will re-groom both areas Friday afternoon for the weekend, pending any change in weather forecast. </div> <div> </div> <div>Leslie<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Are you a member of the Grand Mesa Nordic Council?

Here's details:</div> <div> </div> <div>8TH ANNUAL BARNELOPET for KIDS</div> <div> </div> <div> The 8th Annual Barnelopet cross country ski day for kids will be held on Sat., Mar. 6 at Skyway on Grand Mesa. This free day for kids ages 3-16 begins with registration from 10 to 11, free lessons at 11 and a fun race at Noon with distance based on ability. Kids must bring their own personal or rental ski equipment since none will be available on site. Info: call 434-9753, 249-1869. This event is brought to you by the Sons of Norway Vestafjell Lodge and the Grand Mesa Nordic Council.</div> <div> </div> <div>PLEASE NOTE: if you have a spot to post a Barnelopet poster(s), let me know and I will get some to you. Also we need volunteers willing to take kids out for a short lesson/tour. No need to be a seasoned instructor, just patience and the ability to get them into their skis, give them pointers on how to move foward, how to negotiate hills and help them get up from falls. I'm looking for help from 10 until about 12:30 or any increments of that span. Give me a call, 434-9753. Thanks!</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>MESA MELTDOWN SKI RACE</div> <div> </div> <div> The Mesa Meltdown cross country ski race will be held on Sat., March 13 at Skyway on Grand Mesa.

Jon did groom out some things in the trees early this morning -- Winslow/Sunset, but conditions were too severe for him to continue to County Line and we needed to look out for the safety of our groomers. There is also an avalanche watch in effect, so please check with CDOT before attempting to go up either today or tomorrow. If the road is clear tomorrow, we will try again tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. with Al and Jon both grooming -- however snow is forecast to continue through Sunday, with amounts for the weekend totalling up to 2 feet. </div> <div> </div> <div>Leslie<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Are you a member of the Grand Mesa Nordic Council?

I am now back home in Durango, just <br>realized I hadn't put the skis in after doing a car shuttle, and am in <br>distress about my stupidity and lost skis and poles.<p>If anyone finds these skis and would be willing to take them down to <br>Grand Junction, I have a friend there who would be willing to pick <br>them up and get them back to me. My telephone is 970-247-0914, e-mail <br>is <a href="mailto:harrisoncoburn@gmail.com">harrisoncoburn@gmail.com</a>.<p>I realize this is a long shot, but hope springs eternal...<p>Thanks, Lynn CoburnUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483762799576951688.post-42516310433216306382010-02-16T22:13:00.001-07:002010-02-16T22:13:12.932-07:00February 16 Grooming Report<div>Jon groomed out Skyway/County Line this afternoon/evening and it should set up nicely tonight.
