Subject: 3-9-10 Grooming Report

This is a midweek grooming report as the trails are getting extra grooming 
this week due to spring break. Monday the E/W Express was groomed from the 
121.5 trailhead to the P-ville Rd. Also the P-ville Rd. was groomed from 
Martin Creek south of Petersville to the Kroto Parking Lot. The road and E/W 
are in very good shape however there were high winds monday so expect some 
drifting when traveling east or west.

A new route from near Martin Creek on the P-ville Rd to Lunch Box Hill and 
then down the Deep Creek Trail to the E/W Express was groomed for the first 
time ever Monday! This improves a popular route for folks heading up and over 
the Petersville Hills and also provides a scenic loop from the E/W to the P-
ville Rd and back. This has been a long anticipated project and the snow and 
funding finally cooperated this year. Many thanks to the Curry Ridge Riders 
whose memberships and donations are paying for this service. A special thanks 
to Joe Gauna for dedicating yet another saturday to route finding and mapping 
with his GPS. Wands should be installed by this weekend.

Tuesday the Safari Lake Trail, Tokositna Trail, Kroto Link, North Loop and the 
north part of the Chulitna Bluff were groomed. 2-6 inches of fresh had fallen 
monday night and the conditions are the best it has been all year. If you plan 
on riding this week then north of the Big Su Bridge is the place to be. One 
caution I'll give is to watch out for hidden holes covered up by the recent 
winds. Everywhere looks very flat but I know the are many ditches and dips 
that were visible last week and have a thin cover over them this week. More 
grooming will continue throughout the week so keep a careful eye out for the 
groomer.

One last word is a big thank you to all the volunteers who spent time brushing 
the trails this winter. Without these few hardy soles we would not have the 
trail system we all enjoy. Glenn Swan, John Scudder, Ron Lurk and of course 
Joe Gauna have put in more time cutting, signing and staking than anybody 
else, and if you see them on the trail stop and say thanks.
