Sat. May 6,
Too rainy to bike? Last chance to x-c ski this weekend! It was a very nice ski on Friday afternoon. I got the Ginzu out one more time just to set one more record. Track set and smoothed skate side 0n a handful of trails. See the description below or check the map.
You can park in the upper stadium area and ski from there on snow. (in a few days you will be able to drive to Jackrabbit flats). From there Main road is good. The Ginzu went up on Main loop towards Mountain Climb, then on upper Main Loop to Log Roller. Hydro Hill is a walk now, but Upper Cedar Ramble and Creek Crawl are good. Lower Cedar Ramble is nice as far down as B.L. Road. Watch out for the big hole there! ( flagged).
Suggested route: Up Main road, turn left to the upper Main Loop. There is a short bare patch there as you turn right again, then good from there. 1) From the Ole hut , go out and back on Log Roller ( couple of very narrow sections ) or walk down Hydro Hill to Cedar Ramble. 2 ) Go out and back on Creek Crawl, then either way on Cedar Ramble ( upper or lower).
Caution: Ditch melted across Cedar Ramble at Beaver Lake Road.
If you prefer, you can pick your way up on Hard Right, but use extreme caution if you come down that way. Have fun.
Note**With the warmer weather we can expect to see more wildlife on the trails. There have been some sighting of some large tracks out on the trails in the last few days. Please be cautious if you do see any wildlife. Do Not approach any moose, even if they are to the side of the trail.
Friendly Reminder: If you are skate skiing or classic herring boning, remember to step away from the classic track set. It can be dangerous for classic skiers if they are expecting a good track and instead encounter snow damage.
RNSC policies are no longer in effect:
You may see dog tracks and footprints everywhere.
There is a wax predictor and temperature chart to help with your decision making. For more detailed weather information, check out the RNSC weather station.
