GROOM REPORT
December 29, 2020

2-3” of soft, light, freshy. ALL Trails groomed this morning and in absolutely fundabulous condition. Beware of large ice sheet on upper Pole Creek at the bridge crossing the overflown creek.

NEW YEAR BONUS: Cardiac trail (Headquarters past the Haunted Forest junction) has been groomed up to the overlook and ready for shredy. Note, this is an up and back only option for this season. Enjoy the twists and the view.

We need your help to keep the good times rolling. Give the gift that keeps giving, please donate here to feed the Snowdog and maintain the best public winter trails this side of everywhere!

​Groom History
December 24, 2020: All trails groomed except for Middle Aspen and lower Pole Creek. CHRISTMAS BONUS= Express and Upper Pole Creek Loop has been groomed twice and is good to go.

December 19, 2020: Frequent drifting due to High Winds (in case you haven’t noticed). No new snow.
Groomed Aspen-Haunted Forest-Headquarters-Snowshoe, Black Ice, Dilly Dally, Blackjack and upper Pole Creek. Nice mixed conditions of snow drifts and exposed rock to build your fatty handling skills.​

December 15, 2020:  First official groom of the season, well sort of. Happy Jack got another 2-3” since yesterday to bring the snow total to around 5” of very light fluff.
The Snowdog made a full outer loop (Snowshoe ‘SS’, Headquarters ’HQ’, Haunted Forest, Pole Creek), as well as the inner loop (SS, Black Ice, Dilly-Dally, BlackJack). Not enough snow yet to get the machine on Aspen or Middle Aspen.
So, Give it a day to settle or ride it now with low pressure and be prepared to slip n’ slide a bit. GRYFB!

In the Beginning....

.....volunteers packed the trails by snowshoe after a snowfall. However, this was cumbersome and time consuming. Recently and with your help, Laramie BikeNet purchased a SnowDog machine to pack the multi-user trails at Happy Jack for Fat Biking, snowshoeing, running/hiking, and classic cross-country skiing. The SnowDog packs the trails quickly, while keeping the narrow, fun attributes of a single-track trail experience for all non-motorized trail users in the winter.
