Mooney's Bay Ski Area

Trails Skied: Stadium, Classic Loop, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: K18

Nice cold morning. Tracks still mostly in good shape despite yesterday's traffic. But did the street clearing crew need to blow dirty snow from Riverside drive all the way to the classic tracks, some 20m away?? They can do better than that. Would be great if grooming crew could communicate with City operations...
