Jan 20th: By Saturday evening, between 2 and 4 cm's of snow had accumulated on the Mt Shark system since the last grooming; flurries were also falling during the grooming period but with not much more than another cm on top of the earlier grooming (as of 2AM Sunday morning). The snowpack is still quite inconsistent throughout the Mt Shark system, and some early season natural hazards still exist, mainly some brush above the snow, as well as some thin spots with dirt and rocks mixed in to the base in a few places. Some drainage crossings are still not flush with the trail, and there are also still some bumps and uneven surfaces in a few places. The steep ups and downs of the first 2 km's of the Yellow 10km loop (and the Red 5) generally has the thinnest base, along with a few windblown sections of the 15k. The extra 5 km's of the 15k was not groomed this week but be aware of one very sharp corner at a high point that has lots of dirt and small rocks mixed in to the snow.- Comment last updated: Jan-20 7AM
