Trail Report
Trail Report for 12/3/2019
As of 2:00 this afternoon the golf course trail is packed and will be ready to groom tomorrow morning! ?Only got stuck once, but it was a classic bury-job. ?So much snow, so soft and light, makes it very hard to climb any real hills, and though I suspected as much, had to find out the hard way. I’ll plan to groom the trail for classic skiing first thing in the morning, so here we go 2019/2020 ski season! Happy trails, Ken |

Meeting on Wednesday, 12/4
Reminder:? Meeting tomorrow (Wednesday)?night, 12/4, 6:30-7:30 in the library!? Please spread the word.
?
Also, if anyone is able, please get onto the Backyard Trail with snowshoes and check for downed trees.? We're going to try to get onto it with snowmobiles later in the week, but with all the snow, some packing now by foot would help.? Please let Keith or Ken know if you find large trees downed on the trail so we can plan cleanup detail.
?
Also, if you haven't already registered on the?Madeline Island Nordic Ski Club site, please consider doing that to improve our ability to communicate going forward.??
?
Winter is here!
?
Marnie and Ken |

Our Meeting on December 4
One of the chief benefits of this groups.io format is the ability it offers to engage everyone in dialogue over our common xc skiing interests.? On that note, now that we've agreed the ski club is a good idea, can we begin to share and discuss topics in advance of our next meeting on December 4?
?
We should discuss membership itself.? What should that look like?? One basic membership level for everyone?? More than one level?? How will we go about setting, collecting, and managing dues generated by membership contribution?? How will we spend that money?
?
After grooming the golf course trail and helping with the other trails last year, I have some experience with expenses related to grooming.
?
I'd also like to hear from others about what they'd like to see in terms of the design of the golf course trail this year.? Last year I worked hard to establish a skate track next to the classic track, but I don't think there are many skaters on the island yet and because it takes three times the time and energy to groom the skate track as opposed to the classic, I'm planning to begin with just a classic track on the golf course.? I'm also planning to eliminate grooming a trail on the first couple of holes, those most exposed to the wind off the lake.? Any other trail design thoughts?
?
Also like to share a bit of good news.? Bob Hartzell has graciously agreed to let us groom a trail from the golf course to the backyard trail by his rental units on the 5th fairway, just a kick and a glide down from Candi's house, and I've already physically cleared the way to doing that, so as soon as we get some snow we'll give that a try as well.? Thank you, Bob!
?
Your thoughts?? What else should we talk about next week?
?
Thinking snow,
?

Welcome!
Hello Madeline Island xc skiers and ski ambassadors, and thanks for signing on. Let the ski club/trail talk begin!
I proposed this format vs. Facebook to include more people in our discussions and make it easy to broadcast club news. Emails and replies sent to our email address: [email protected] reach everyone who has registered. Let’s give it a try and see how well it works? I’ve also created, but not launched, a private Facebook club page, but I worry that might complicate things for now? Snow coming down sideways across our front yard as I type this. Won’t be long now until we are on those trails! Think snow, Ken |
