&#8220;Hey Kevin &#8211; just letting you know they are in the process of grooming Grand Beach right now, 1030 am &#8211; 15 to 20 cm of new fresh powder. Skate deck is nice and flat but very soft (so much new snow to groom) probably best to wait until tomorrow morning, should firm up overnight as it’s suppose to dip to -10.&#8221;</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wed pm March 5th the classic tracks are in good condition with minimal debris. Tracks have been refreshed and most of it was very good. At below freezing the grip is tough, the hills are fast, and the track for snowplow and herringbone is quite uneven and chunky &#8211; careful on the downhills! Whatever they are doing to try and groom for skate is not working.</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Skied Boulder Hill and Beaver Creek spur today. Classic trails were in great condition and this forest is gorgeous. Hill conditions were soft with some gouges from grooming equipment outside of the tracks. Since they were soft they were slow and easy to navigate. We had fun and would do these trail again! Thanks Grand Beach staff.</p>
