Trail Conditions

Well I thought the warm temperatures would have ended skiing for this year but when I went out this morning I found 2-3 cm of new snow on the trails and although the underlying base is not so smooth the skiing was not bad at all. The tracks are pretty much melted down but the skating is quite good. At least the snow is clean and won't freeze up overnight so tomorrow should be reasonable. Sunday might be more of a problem with a predicted high of 15C. I don't plan to do any grooming since it would only bring up pine needles and other rubbish and temperatures are expected to remain high all next week with rain. So this will probably be the last weekend for any skiing unless some of that rain appears as snow. In 2010 skiing ended Mar 10th so this is not unusual.

trails groomed last night

10 cm of new snow. The trails tend to be a little colder than Pembroke these days, so we get snow over the rain in town.

Race results

Thanks to all those who turned out for our annual skate race, especially those who travelled from Ottawa. Official results are posted in the 'race results' tab across the top.

Two errors were made in the top 3 placings yesterday. Apologies to those two who we missed in the awards ceremony: Jr. Boys Sam Serviss was first; Sr. boys, third place was Colin Topping.
