Spring Operations Update

This week our staff started applying a carbon product to the putting greens that attracts more sunlight and helps snow melt more rapidly.  In addition to exposing the putting surface earlier to catch some more sun and speed green up, it also helps amend the soil.

The beginning of this process usually triggers the end of our winter trail grooming.  While the grooming equipment for the classic track is unable to operate in these conditions, we will still attempt to smooth the trail tomorrow afternoon when the snow surface thaws.

Just like at the ski resorts this time of year, freeze/thaw cycles lead to snow conditions on the trail that are variable at best.  Please stay safe out there!
