Wolverine Ski Club

Winning Team: Racael, Justyna, Eric, Emily, Alex

This weeks Championship team.  winning both the realys and the Freeze Game.

I would like to say that the recent inch or so of snow has helped but it hasn’t done much.  I touched up everything as best as I could today.  There are very shallow tracks on the Green Belt.  The Game Club is surprisingly good for skating but be sure to use rock skis and watch for bare spots.  Pray for 6 -12 inches.  That is what we need to get things back in great shape.

Mondays high temps and rain have made parts of the trail un-raceable.  Not enough new snow to repair in time for the race.  The ESG and Bill Koch portions of this race have been canceled for now.  We may reschedule for later in the year.

The Women’s only Clinic for sunday is still on for now.

Thursdays Kids program will be held as normal

The new groomer is hooked up and amazing!!  I can’t wait to use it more.  I made a few passes today and you will notice the difference this groomer makes when skiing.  Thanks to everyone who made it possible and a special thanks to my father who helped me with the wiring and set up.

Now for the trails…bottom line…WE NEED SNOW.  Let’s hope that the rain is not too bad and the lake effect comes.  For now, skiing is ok.  I have to wait and see what comes over the next few days before any serious grooming can be done.

Wolverine Ski Club High Tech Snow Mover

Several Wolverine Ski Club members met at the club today to prep the Trail for the upcoming race.  Using shovels and tarps Snow was moved to the low spots to even out the trail.

Thanks to everyone for your help today.  I was able to drag snow in the low spots with the groomer later this afternoon and it made a big difference.  Skating at the Game Club is really good right now…fast and the snow feels very nice under the foot.  There is a new track on the Green Belt.  Enjoy!!

Sunday Jan 16 We will meet at the Game Club to work on the trail in preparation for the upcoming ESG/High School race at the end of the month. Bring a shovel and your skiis we will be filling in the low spots and leveling the trail.

All trails touched up today and fresh track on the Green Belt.  We finally have a good base to work with.  Now we just need another foot of snow.  However, skiing is hard and fast and should be very nice this weekend.  Use caution on the same old thin and bumpy spots.

Groomed all trails AGAIN today.  There is a fresh track on the Green Belt and a track has also been set on the perimeter of the Game Club.  The snow continued to come down during grooming but hope it will not be too soft tomorrow.
