 OUR GROOMERS IN ACTION

Grooming the Trail to the Summit of Black Mountain

The control panel

Operating the groomer takes a lot of skill. The driver has one hand

on the steering wheel and an eye on the trail ahead.  At the same

time, the other hand is on the control panel as he keeps an eye

on the drag and the trail in the rear view mirror!

One of the rewards of grooming is the chance to see some spectacular scenery!


Rainy Day Grooming

Tom Reed and Fern Dumoulin were all smiles as they headed out to groom the trails on December 17, 2003.

How can you tell these guys love to groom?!

Unfortunately, the skies opened up and after a couple of hours of steady rain the snow was getting soft and slushy.  They had to turn the groomer around and take it back to its winter home at S.W. Young, Inc. in the Industrial Park.

 

 

Done for the day .... Tom appears to be asking

the heavens, when will the rain stop?

 


Buddy, Dick and Ivan
