Wow. Antelope4455 reports for Minnewaska on 2/22: “Groomers have been at it since 5 am… They are pleased with the results, telling me that the inch of additional sleet and snow helped pad the meager base they had been working with all week. Castle point will still have the thinnest base, but is now groomable. They think upper awosting has come out the best and unfortunately due to some hikers that snuck in yesterday, the Lake Minnewaska Trail got pretty beat up, so it is in the worst shape. Millbrook and Hamilton are still good. The base ranges from 3 to 5 in. We hope to groom through the weekend.”
That’s an awesome quality of work with a challenging ‘snow’ base.
